Los Angeles herald., 1905-11-26

Quite a. number of subscriptions wer
turned in yesterday in the Herald's
Salesladies Contest. Every one seems
bent on capturing one of the specia!
prizes that are being offered to the can
ddates who secure the most three
months subscriptions between the
dates November "a and December 2,
inclusive. There seems to be some
Misunderstanding regarding this spe-
cial offer--some candidates are under
the impression that the winners will
only receive the gold watch, and bal
lot for 10000 votes for the first prize,
and the solid gold brooch with solitaire
diamond wrapped in a special ballot
for 5000 votes for second prize. This
is not so. The usual number of votes
5000 will be allowed on each three
months subscription when turned in,
and on December the lady who has
the largest amount of three-months'
subscription to her credit, in addition
to the votes already issued, will re-
ceive the gold watch and a special ball
lot for 10000 votes. Same with the
second prize, the usual number (300)
will be allowed when the subscription
is turned In, and on next Saturday the
lady who has the second largest
amount of three-months' subscriptions
to her credit will receive in addition
to votes already issued a solid gold
brooch set with solitaire diamond.
wrapped in a special ballot for 5000
votes
The special prize and vote offer is
now fully under way, but not enough
time has elapsed for any one to take a
great lead. This may not occur at all,
but even If one does get a few in the
lead il must not be taken for granted
the prizes are won. Seven days. until
Saturday, December 2, remain, and a
lot of good effective work can be ac-
complished in that time. See your
friends who promised to lend their sup
port at the finish and explain to them
how you can realize as many votes on
subscriptions turned in this week as
you can any other time, and still stand
good chance of winning one of the
special prizes with additional votes.
DON'T let rumors influence you one
way or the other. 1t might be the case
that you will hear So-and-so has so
many three-months subscriptions and
such and such is the case. These ru-
mors are usually false, as the secrets
of this office are not aired to lnquirers
and these reports are started in hopes
of dscouraging others. Go after these
prizes fully determined to win and you
will be successful in your determ-
ination.
REMEMBER, don't hold subscrip
tions back; turn them In as soon as
secured, when the usual number will
be allowed a record of each one turned
in will be credited to your account and
on SATURDAY the one who has secured
the largest number will receive an or
der FOR the gold watch and 10000 votes,
and the lady who has secured the next
largest number will receive ain order
for the diamond brooch, with a special
ballot for 5000 votes.
SPECIAL NOTICE--The names and
pictures of the winners of the special
prizes will be announced on Monday,
Dec. 4, but the number of three-months'
subscriptions that win each prize will
not be announced until the close of
the contest, Dec. 49, thereby protect
ing the winners as to the strength of
their reserve forces. Don't forget or
let your friends forget that the two
candidates who turn in the largest
