Thus equipped you have but to see your friends and acquaintances and have them pay up their subscription through you. That’s all there is to it! However, let us say you will never gut any where unless you make the start—the earlier the beter. Once started, let no one discourage you. Anything worth having is worth striving for. Seven short weeks and you may be riding is. your own BIG automobile! w cast before the expiration date appearing thereon. The other and much faster way to accumulate votes in thia campaign is by stcuring new and renewal subscriptions to thia news paper (the right is reserved to include job printing and ad vertising if so desired). On each order secured a certain number of votes are issued, the num ber varying according to the amount paid and during which “period” same ar ereceived by the Campaign Departmen. See schedule of votes opposite. l The advantages of an early start are mani fest. The campaign is of such short duration that immediate action is necessary for success. Orden taken during the early part of the cam paign carry the MAXIMUM number of vot’s. Then, too, the fint in the field will undoubtedly get the cream of the votes and subscriptions, while thoae who put off entering until a later date will have to take what is left. Don’t loae valuable time waiting to sea what the “other fellow is going to do,” but pitch right in and show the “other fellow” how to do it!

Dingledine, Mgr.Ph0118192 * I Early Start Means Easy Finish Î I : j : : t I I The first thing to do is to clip the Entry Ccu- pon appearing below, fill in your name and ad dress nnd mail or deliver it to the Campri’-o Department of this newspaper at once. T’. ,s coupon entitles you, or the person whom you might wish to enter, with 5.000 FREE VOTES. These votes are given as a starter—to sp J you on your way to win. Only one such Entry Coupon will be accepted for each entrant. The next step is to call, on, or write, the Cr.m« QRS OH those who participate most actively. Ambition and energy are the only requsites of success. The plan adopted is the fairest and most im partial conceivable. There will be no “special vote offers’” inaugurated during the life of this campaign, neither will there be any “special prizes” given. The plan is straightforward and simple, and fully outlined in this announcement Let it be understood at the outset that this is not a "beauty” nor “popularity” contest, but a strictly legitimate competitive proposition for enterprising men and women, and one into which no element of chance enters. One feature of this campaign is the fact that “Everybody “Wins”. There will be no losers in this race!

Primarily to increase tht already large subscription list of this newspaper, to collect arrearage and advance subscription pay ments from present or old subscribers, and at the same time to afford livewire, energetic hustlers of this city and surrounding territory an opportunity to profit, and in a BIG way, through their spare time during the next few weeks. So it is a plan that works both ways, and to the ultimate good of all concerned. In order to gain this end quickly and advan tageously, the most valuable list of prizes ever offertd by a weekly newspaper in this section has been made ready for distribution among p * I CAMPAIGN PLAN IN BRIEF WORTH $1095.— I -BALLOON TIRES r 10. In the event of a tie for any one of the prizes, a prize identical inval ue will be given each tying contestant. 11. Participants in this campaign are au thorized and agreed that they will be respons ible for all moneys collected and will remit such amounts in full each day to the Campaign Department. 12. No statements or promise made by any representative or candidate varying from the rules and statement appeari ng through the columns of this newspaper will be recognized by the publisher. 13. In case of tyopographical or other error it is understood that neither the publisher nor campaign manager shall be held responsible ex cept to make the necessary correction upon dis covery of same. 14. Candinates who remain ACTIVE to the finish, but fail to win one of the regular prizes offered, will be paid a 20 per cent commission on all subscription money turned in to their ac count. It is distinctly understood, however, that in the event any candidate becomes IN ACTIVE, failing to make a regular ruth report, he or she will, at the discretion of the manage ment, become disqualified and thereby forfeit all right to a prize or commission. 15. To insure absolute fairness in the awarding of prizes, the race will be brought to a close under a sealed ballot box. During the entire last "period” of the campaign, a bal’ot box—locked and sealed—will repose in the vaults of the Vernonia bank, where candidates and their friends will deposit their final col lections and reserve votes. In this way no one, not even the campaign manager, can possibly know the voting strength of the various candi dates, which precludes any possibility of favor- ism and insures fairness to the minutest degree. 16. This newspaper reserves the right to amend the rules and conditions of this cam paign. if necessary, for the protection of can didates or this newspaper. 17. This newspaper guarantees fair and im partial treatment to all participants, but should any question arise, the decisions of the manaw- ment will be absolute and final. 18. In becoming a candidate, participants agree to abide by the above conditions. 5 Ì 1925 Model, Standard Six Overland Sedan.

Every pre caution has been taken to safeguard the inter ests of participants, and absolute honesty in all dealings is guaranteed. , However, not all wisdom lies with any one man or institution, and for that reason an Ad visory Board has been decided upon, whose function shall be to decide any question of suf ficient moment that might happen to arise, and from which a committee shall be selected to act as judges aad award the prizes. The per sonnel! of this board is as follows: I » E. E. Marsh, City Attorney. G. R. Mills, Mayor of Vernonia. W. O. Galoway, Pres. Vernonia Bank. A. A. McDonald, Mgr. Miller Mercantile Co. J. Greenman. Supt. Oregon American Lhr. Co. C. R. Coyle. Prop. Gayosa Confectionery. I AU of these gentlemen are well known to everyone in this vicinity and the final results, given out by them will be beyond dispute. s. y « I I < ‘ ■■■■■■■HI HBHI
