Lodge, No. "a. is making a great race
and should they win there will no
doubt be parades and bands of music
to celebrate the event.
Hope Farm cast a large vote in
the Lippincott and Company depart-
ment store. They have been gain
ing ground at the stores every day
lately. The contest man will drop
little hint as to the weak points in
your structure right along from now
on, in the belief that by so doing
workers will pull themselves together
and fill in the gaps.
This voting in spots is dangerous
to success and should be corrected
If the best results are TO be obtained.
There is room for 10 per cent. of
criticism. there is scope for 80 per
cent. of eulogy, for there are hundreds
who are faultless in their quest for
votes. but the contest man enters into
the spirit Of their desire for unani-
nous and undivided support of their
members and friends, The time left
is dwindling away at a fast pace and
you can't rest on your oars even a
moment now unless you want to brook
defeat. Come to THE JOURNAL
Office, take a peep at the mass OF
papers rolling off the big press, but
come prepared to add to this noun
tain of votes your bundle of 2-vote
coupons Your favorite will need it
and maybe It will prove the balance
of power. The circulation of THE
JOURNAL is growing by leaps anc
bounds, which proves that Contestants
are not letting the opportunity Offer
through the precious little coupon
slip by. It is the aim and purpose tC
force this department until it has
reached a point of excellence unat
tained by any paper in the county.
THE EVENING JOURNAL is the
paper of the hour in Wilmington. d,
not overlook its importance nor the
value of the two-vote coupons.
