THE FIRST PERIOD OF THE
Big DUNLAP PONY
CONTEST ENDS

The Count Shows a Large Number Of
Votes to the Credit of Many Of the
Contestants-The Contest is Young
Yet, however---Any one can Enter
Until Two Weeks Before the Close
1T is imperative that all Cor
testants Register at all of the
Eleven Places at Once
The first period of the Great Dun
lap Pony Contest came to a close
Monday night, Jure 30th, and the
count of votes showed that in about
every case the contestants had roll
ed up a goodly number of votes to
their credit, several were leading
the others but none so far in the
lead that an extra squirt by other
contestants will bring them up to
their rivals, in fact it is not impos-
sible to win the coveted prize the
very last week of contest. Let no
one be over confident at any time
for fear of losing out, but all should
work faithfully until the end, taking
nothing for granted. believe no
rumors of this and that thing for no
one except the business firms in the
contest know the standing of the
contestants. Rumors of being ahead
by this or that person is only
rumor and many times is done to-
dishearten another contestant. Show
the true American grit and work
hard and the result will be all you
could wish.
Important to all-There are sew
eral of the contestants that are not
registered at all of the places like
the cards given you tell you to do
and like the contract calls for. Don't
lose another day before registering
if you want your votes to count.
Positively you must register at all
of the eleven places to be eligible.
The places where you must register
are: Home Furniture Store, Mofdtt
Furnishing Co., Nation Drug Co..
Thacker's Shoe Store, d. F. Staley,
jeweler: Gray's Meat Market, Dixie
Milling Co. Rose IheateE Milton
Electric Co., Review ofi1ce and Jar
rett Stationery Co. Registering at
one or more of these places will not
count without you register at ALL
OF THE ELEVEN, PLACES. You
know where you have registered
see that your name is on all lists,
that is the only sure thing to do.
For the next period of two weeks
ending July 14th, 40 per cent. bonus
votes will be given each contestant
That is if you have $4,000 to your
credit July 18th, an additional 2O,-
900 will be given you when the
count is made at this time. The
bonus vote is somewhat smaller than
the first period so it is to your inter-
est to work harder in the first part
of contest You have no assurance
that any more bonus votes will be
given so take it from us, work your
best the next two weeks in order TO
take advantage of handsome bonus
votes offered. AS before stated do
not stand around the stores and
other business places trying to pick
up few votes but drum up the
trade and get the buyers to give you
their votes. They can deposit them
with your name as good as you can
and at the same time you can be
out drumming up business in order
fer the parties to give you their
votes. ....
For instance if you can get a
friend to buy a piece of jewelry,
meats, -four, shoes, ladies furnish
ings, furniture, drugs, electrical sup
plies, visit the theater, buy station
cry, subscribe to the Review or have
printing done at the Stamey Print
ing House, all of which is embraced
iD the firms entered in contest, and
ask them to cast the. votes secured
to your credit you can readily see
how rapidly your standing will in
crease and how much easier it is to
win.
You must study the conditions of
contest printed each week so as to
conform to same, and as you can
only get this printed information in
The Review it would pay you to
subscribe for it and get 500 votes
to your credit and at the same time
be sure to keep up with the contest
each week. A contestant who does
not think enough of his efforts to
register at all of the eleven places
in person certainly has no great
ambition to win. There are only a
few in this class and we trust by
Saturday night there will not be a
single one. In all there are about
! 20 who are not registered properly,
