“EVERYBODY WINS” IN NEWS’
BIG CIRCULATION CAMPAIGN
HERE’S OUR PROPOSITION
The Clackamas County News has more than one
thousand subscriptions expiring between the first of
this year and the close of this campaign. We feel
satisfied that most of these subscribers will renew
if personally solicited. This is an impossibility for
the publisher, and he must get some one to act for
him. He could get a high-powered salesman to go
out and collect these subscriptions, but his salary
would amount to a considerable part of the amount
he could collect. So the News prefers to make it pos
sible, and profitable, for some one living in your own
i ' ! orbood, some one you personally know to col-
your subscription, and pay them for doing it in-
stead of bringing someone h here
f
from the outside to
. o this work.
For this reason, we have decided to put on this
campaign. It is fair for everyone. Those who enter
be contest will be paid according to their ability to
roduce. The man or woman, boy or girl, who gets
he most credits, under our plan fully explained in
this issue of the paper, wins the Plymouth sedan,
and the person who places second in the amount of
business turned in, will be awarded the Chevrolet
coach, and so on down through the prize list.

a a candidate in the Clackamas County News big
Circulation Campaign.
HOW
TO START
If you desire to enter your name as a candidate in
this contest, read over the rules carefully, and if
there is anything further you would like explained,
phone, write or call the News office and the infor
mation desired will be supplied immediately.
As soon p.s your nomination has been accepted
by the News, receipt books and all necessary supplies
with all the necessary instructions will be given you
and you will be ready to start.
Remember, the earlier you start, the better are
your chances to win. Start now before some other
candidate collects the subscriptions of a number of
your friends, who would rather help you.
To those who are less active in the campaign
and fail to win one of the prizes, we will pay a cash
commission on the business turned in. So there is
no chance for you to lose, and there is an opportunity
to get paid at the rate of $100 per week for your
time in selling the News to your friends.
A newspaper does not figure to realize anything
from its circulation. It’s an expense to say the least.
The income of a paper is from its advertising space.
The rate this is sold for depends upon the number of
subscribers. The amount of advertising space it can
sell also depends upon the number of subscribers.
The total volume of business done by the Clackamas
County News during the last year is more than three
times the amount the paper did in the year previous,
due, of course, to the increased circulation. The
idea of the publshier is to further increase the busi
ness during the coming year, by building a larger
circulation, and a more complete coverage of this
entire eastern end of the county.
The News has been preparing for this campaign
for the past two months. We have selected a prize
list that is really worth working for. We are going

to be perfectly frank with you. The progressive
business firms from whom we have purchased the
different prizes, realizing the advertising value to
them of having the cars and other prizes advertised
as purchased from them, have made concessions in
the cost, and while the actual retail value is as listed,
the prizes cost us considerably less. The dealers re
alize that they are getting advertising value from
this arrangement that they could not buy at any
cash price.
Now the method of conducting the contest is
open to the public. The records of every dime’s
worth of business is accurately kept by the News and
the contestant. At the close of ihe campaign, these
records will be available for a.long time for the in
spection of any and all who care to go over them.
During the closing week of the campaign, only
the candidate himself or herself knows what he or
she is doing. No one has the advantage over anoth
er and there is no chance of anyone knowing what
you do the last week. Up to the close of the second
period, the standing of the candidates will be pub
lished each week.
