The "reasons' were par excellent. and the unanimous decision of the judges, neither knowing the -choice of the other, is an attainment of which to be proud. " , v Miss Leon Cass Baer wss s close second, and so close, in fact," that it was almost V toss which would ttt the prise, hence Mr. Cutry had no easy walkaway. The Journal is sorry it did not have at least two Cecilian. W. P. Small came in third with -a splendid list, while there were many others with very strong, good "reasons." . The Judges met at the Commercial Club this morning and began the arduous task of sorting from the stack of replies the lucky one ' to receive the Cecilian. The answers had previously been numbered, the signatures removed from them and numbered in duplicate,' making It impossible for the Judge to know the author of the list upon which he wss passing. About ten of the best were first selected from th heap and then the real task of sifting from these, all of which were good, began in earnest. - v R. M. Hall, advertising manager for the Harriman lines in Oregon, first reached a decision, wrote his first, second and third choice, by, -number, upon a slip of paper, sealed it and .retired. C C Chapman, of the Chapman Advertising Bureau, next reached his decision and in a " -similar manner turned it over to The Journal representative who upon opening the ratings found two out of three, which decided the matter.' It may be interesting to the contestants to know how carefully and thoroughly the Judges went into the matter, and herewith publish'.' Mr. Chapman's report showing his system of scoring: .. "-'.".. f' V' ,' :.:.;. 1. The Journal Of the. papers submitted by you as complying with your published conditions in your Cecilian Contest, No. 47 is 1 " in titled to first prise.

Nearly all the papers submitted contained two or three reasons likely to have weight with "a newspaper advertiser not advertising In The Journal." The papers numbered 19 and 51 were second and third according to my scoring. They were conspicuously excellent and deserve recognition. Yours truly, . , -t C C. CHAPMAN. ' The Following are the "Reasons" Which Were Judgesd Best and Second Best: . FIRST - - i First Th Journal being an evening paper I read by many trtwy people who do not hav th time to read th morning papr, and with I them It la Immensely popular. . ; " , Second It stands for government of th people by th people and for th people and It readers believe In It, thereby Increasing Its valu as an advertising medium. ' , . -. y , ; , 7 . Third With Its circulation of upward of tl.OOs It must go Into thou sands of homes and b read by thousands of people who do not road th ' other Portland papers. - .' . , ' Fourth The advertiser who fall to us Th Journal as a medium not only loses many customers as a result, but loses ,the Influence of gneh customers as welL , .. ' Fifth It gets reaulta Th "re oner" In thi case ssked 1 prominent, merchant In thi city who,u Th Journal a a medium to gtv Jtherr, opinion of it. Plv of them called It th best medium Ip th oity and flv ; th seoond beat, and all load us to believe that It get result. All of th Reaaons", are on fll at Tha Journal office, wher thy. ea n be seen by any contestant. Th Cacllian I furniahed by th i. SECOND , first First and foremost Th Journal has a larger circulation thaa any other paper published In Portland and eonsfuently Its adverttalng ' page roach th eye of th greatest number ef people, i . - SecondIt Is an evening paper. .Thi faot alone glvaa It precedeno and I enough la Itself to esUbllsh ltt th best advertising medium. Third Any firm, to reach a certain clientele, to obtain and keep permanently a certain patronage, must advertlss 'in th paper of that ' clientele. Sine Th Journal' circulation carrlea It Into more homes than any of it competitors enter, it la aaf to aaeura that all aorta and-, conditions In all daaeee of th mas sea peruse th advertising section, and ' so returns ar mad from every aourc and all form of clientele reached. Fourth It la poor policy to not lis Th Journal. Every progressive firm having th Interest of hi buetneas at heart cannot afford to not u -'Ths Journal. There ere three strong papers in Portland and to ostracise , the strongest advertising medium of th three displays a woful lack of . professional-tbiea. 1 . 1 1 ' I Fifth Th Journal lawn the asm line with wireless telegraphy, th automobile and all thoroughly modern and up-to-date thing. It breathes, . life and power In every Una. It 1 clean and la her to atay. When. ' Portland people demand a paper Ilk The Journal and keep on demanding until they get It It surely must be -something worth having.. It la in ovary essential a modern -newspaper,, and aa such people will continue to want It. Th same vim and energy back of It all la found also In tho advertising section, and It has been proven by actual word and testimony : of firms that sinos using The Journal's columns for adverttalng purposes their sales hav been quicker and a a natural result their profits greater. , Advertising la The Journal is only salesmanship on paper. . , . All of the "Reasons are on file at The Journal office, where they can be" seen by any contestant.
