Arizona republican., 1908-12-14

It is with pride that will never be forgotten that the Arizona Republican this morning prints the contest score showing the final results. and giving some idea of tEe magnitude of the work actually done by the contestants, particularly the last and greatest day of the contest There had never been anything like it in the history of the paper or that of any other in Arizona. Where under the sun the hustlers managed to secure so many new subscriptions for long terms, in a. field so thoroughly covered before. is a pug lze to the circulation department.
 The work Saturday was wonderful. and in scope almost beyond belief. There was received in cash from Sat urday's business alone. $1S6261, of which $I279.91, was received in Phoe- nix, and the rest. s5S2.70 was received in Tempe and Mesa. This makes about sSO00.0O collected by the contestants during the contest, and exclusive of the regular receipts in the circulation department which is surely remark able

On Saturday, one day alone. there were secured 11O new sub scriptiOns. the most of which were for long terms and not for but one month as might be expected. The most of them were for six months or a year each. It was this in fact. that made the scores grow so rapidly. There were ef .F ts-Ii iai, one half were reserved from former days work. But, one-half of that great bunch was actually earned on Satur- day, 10000 points in one day!

After checking in one time during the early evening he was in such a great hurry to get out after more subscriptions that he jump ed oyer the counter and ran through the doorway like mad. A few minutes later Joe had the phone working. He called to tell the contest manager that
 
 exit as he did. for he afterward re membered there were several ladies in the office at the time he went over the counter. Joe was a great favOrite ev- anywhere. among the contestants as well as everyone else. It was a joy to Joe to have the other contestants greet him with congratulations.
