The interest in The Chief's
Big Automobile Contest grows
stronger as the days go past.
This week we added several
new Contestants to the list and
they are busily engaged in se
curing votes.
However, we again "print the
nomination blank, and should
you, or any of your friends de
sire to enter the race, fill out
this blank and bring it to this
office. While several of the
Contestants have quite a good
start, there is yet an opportunity
for a new Contestant to start to
work now, and by putting forth
an extra effort, in the end find
that they have won one of the
handsome prizes offered in this
great Contest.
To the Contestants already
at work we take this means of
telling them that they cannot
afford to let a single day go by
that does not find them adding
new votes to their standing.
Even if ,on comparing your
standing with another, you feel
you are far enough ahead to
enable you to stop work for a
time, you should bear in mind
the fact that perhaps your rival
has several thousand votes they
have not turned in.
