When the News and Observer first an
nounccd its grand special edition it, OF
course expected Il liberal patronage,
knowing our citizens TO be pushing, en-
tcrpriSing people. That patronage
came. and with rush far beyond our
most Sanguine expectations. Never IN
the history of the State has any single
newspaper enterprise met with such llb-
eral encouragement, and for this we
desire to thank our friends and citizens
who have so literally joined us i'll this
gigantic enterprise Special thanks are
certainly due our, city and county and
Federal officers, who with but two eX-
ceptions, have met us more than half
way.
The time is now ripe to push Raleigh
to the front. and our people recognizing
this fact. are doing all in their power to
aid the edition
We will certainly issue the largest
and handsomest edition ever put forth
from any press room IN North Caro-
lima. Furthermore we propose to IL
lustrate the edition. thus giving you Il
paper that you will be proud to send
away from home--an edition telling what
old stereotyped Raleigh. etc. Of the past,
but something new and original.
Space is being rapidly consumed, and
those desiring same will do well to write
or call at once in order to secure it.
Mr.. David and the members of the
corps will Cndeavor to call upon each cit
izen. but owing to the magnitude of the
work, only single call will be given to
each
We commend Mr.. David for the mas
terly manner III which he handles the
vast enterprise Keep the ball rolling
we are of and for the people-Raleigh,
Wake county and North Carolina, first,
last and all the time
Are You with us or do you belong to
the mossback crowd? The edition will
answer this.
ONLY ONE CALL.
When the News and Observer first an
nounced its edition it was stated that
only one call would be made upon each
person. when the plan of the enterprise
would be thoroughly explained
We have strictly adhered to this prop
osition. While some may think this an
arbitrary rule on our part, the greater
number of the better class of our people
agree with us, as is demonstrated by the
hundreds of contracts that have been
given us.
1t must be remembered that our so
licitOrs have thousands of people to see.
and three calls are devoted to each per-
son, viz: To secure contract; to gain
pointers and thirdly to submit copy.
The fair-minded will at once see that
it is impossible therefore to come back
to any one. Some people get into the
habit of putting you off from time to
time merely consulting their own in
terests. This class of people we do not
| want under any circumstances, in the
edition.
4 business man. ono who is used to
transacting business, can decide in few
| seconds as to whether he desires to join
us in this great edition, and does not
require days to decide. The sooner the
people of Raleigh make UP their minds
| that we are in earnest in this matter,
| the letter it will be for their own in
| terest
ONLY ONE CALL WILL BE MADE
UPON EACH PERSON.
