travel anywhere and stick to the mn
ish. All the great achievements nave
been won through starting ana SICK
ing. The genius of Edison is ex-
hpited In his wonderful inventions
and his success has been won through
patience. hard work and good stick
ing qualities. All the great things In
life have been accomplished by men
and women whose indomitaple persls-

by the presidency of the contestants
themselves. Let the good work OF
soliciting go on and let not your ef-
forts lag. DO not quit If you have
been refused but go back. The best
sales have been made after men have
been turned down a nalf dozen times.
The contest will soon be over. A
few days and the most talked of event
in Richmond and vicinity Will come
to close. One contestant will be
driving an automobile next week,
while fourteen Others are enjoying the
luxury OF one of the prizes. Work
night and day in order to land one of
these prizes. You cant afford to stop
for a minute now. There is lots of
business yet to get. You will get 1t
il you go after 1t.
Bluff.
Don't let any other contestant bluff
you into telling how many votes you
have or they have in reserve. Re-
member that IL a contestant tries this
game with you, he or she merely
wishes to scare you out of the con-
test. so that 1t will be all the easier
for them. If o contestant has votes
In reserve they will not go around
and shout about 1t. but will natur-
ally keep 1t to themselves. The re-
suits on the last day will show who
has votes and who has not. Remem-
Der that no one knows your own
strength. Information about any OF
the candidates is absolutely unknown.
Hustle and pay no attention to your
opponent. Just remember that one
of these fifteen prizes valued from
$50 to $500 will be yours. 1t Will
take more than any one Of your OPP
ponents to scare you out.
