OREGON, FRIDAY AUGUST 14,1925 . Volume 4 Number 1 NSWAMPAlBtei ; OF THE EAGLE OPEN TO ALL Growing tl INTERESTING KRIPTIVE ARIICLE OF TOE UM Ct lllffl «Ï i Mill WRITER The announcement in last week's issue of The Eagle of a big subscription building salesmanship campaign has already attracted considerable attention from friends and readers of this newspaper. The sole purpose of the campaign is to make The Eagle a greater and bigger newspaper, enlarge the sphere of its usefulness, and furnish its advertisers a wider clientele. It offers residents of Vernonia and Col umbia county a wonderful opportunity to profit, and in a big way, by simply utilising their spare time. Just think of being able to’ secure an Overland sedan* worth $1095, or any of the other valuable prizes, for part time effort during the next six weeks. The fact that a person is not a salesman or saleswo man or has not had any sales experience, need not pre vent them from entering this campaign and sharing in the valuable award?. Every worth-while individual is a salesman or saleswoman to a greater or less degree. They may have all the necessary qualifications and not realize 854 the possession.
