Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1911-11-02
THE BIG CONTEST
IS NOW RAGING.
Large And Valuable Premiums Offered
To The People For Securing
New Readers.

Last week the Republican announced
to its readers that it would conduct n
piano contest in which two valuable in
strumentS would be given absolutely
free to those who secured new subscri6-
ers and renewals to the Republican,
The contest has started out with a
rush and much interest has already de-
veloped In fact, interest in the contest
is so keen that The Republican has de-
cided to make a slight change in the
prizes to be awarded and the rules gov
erning the same. We feel that at this
stage of the contest we have the priyi-
lege Of doing it as but few nominations
have reached this office. If there is any
one. or more of the candidates already
nominated, who object to the change,
they will please call at the Republican
office in person not later than SATURDAY.
Nov. 18th, and render such objection. At
that time the matter will be gone over
thoroughly and their wishes complied
with.
Instead OF giving away two pianos as
stated last week, we have concluded to
give one Five Passenger Ford Automo-
bile, fully equipped. and one piano,
substituting the automobile for one of
the pianos. The districts will remain
the same, and the rules governing the
contest will remain the same. with the
exception of some minor changes We
want you to read our announcement in
this issue of the paper. 1t will fully
explain every detail of the contest. It
is simple; nothing complicated about it.
The two districts in the county as an
nounced last week. will compete for the
grand prize, The Five Passenger Ford
Automobile. The candidate living in
either one of the districts having the
largest number of votes will get the au-
tomobile and the candidate living in the
other district having the largest num-
Der of votes in that district will get
the piano. In other words one prize
winner in one district gets the automo-
bile and one prize winner in the other
district gets the piano. The contest
between the two districts will be as to
which one secures the automobile and
which one secures the piano.
Other prizes, such as diamond rings
and watches will be given from time to
time for special work done, all of which
will be fully explained. This is going
to be the largest and best contest ever
put on in Audubon county. The Re-
publican is Audubon county's greatest
newspaper anu we want 10 enlarge 1U4
territory. We have a newspaper of
merit and we feel that the public rec
ognizes it as such. WeN IRE proud Of
the standing the paper has III the COM
munity and we must extend its power
and influence to reach q still larger per-
cent of the reading public. We have
the hearty cooperation of the business
men in this venture. They realize the
importance and necessity of the Repub-
lican as good, clean live Newspaper.
They have given us many words of
encouragement and we are anxious to
merit the confidence they. have re.
posed in us.
We will have a large list of contest
ants in this contest and those who re-
main until the close are the ones who
will reap the greatest rewards. If you
are personally interested, or have
friend who would be interested, we
would like to have you call or phone
the Republican office. This contest will
be great thing for Audubon county,
but in order to make it the success it
deserves We must have the hearty CO.
operation and support of the people in
all sections.
