Hope to Name Winners Then.
The management hopes that all
subscriptions and votes will be turned
into this Office before the closing
hour, SO that the judges can name
the winners Saturday night, but if
some of the out-of-town and country
contestants are not able to do this
the judges then will not be able to
determine the winners until Monday
morning.
Candidates are given a cordial in
vitation to have their friends and
well-wishers here at the close of the
contest. The general public is also
invited to be at the Standard Office
and see the close of the most excit-
ing contest that has ever been held
in this section of the country.
The Standard wants to take this
opportunity to repeat it's gratitude
to the contestants and their friends
for their loyal support during the con-
test, for many hundreds of new SUBJ
scribers have been added to the STAN
dard's list. and quite a number of the
old subscribers renewed their SUBJ
scfiptions to the oldest paper pub
lished in Washington. So, on the
whole the management of the Stan
dard 10 very we'll satisfied with the
results of the contest. It has not
made any money directly for the
paper, but then no publisher figures
he will make money out Of a contest,
for IL he secures new subscribers and
gets his old ones renewed, he is we'll
satisfied. A newspaper does not cal
culate to make money out Of its cir
it does not cost more
than what 1t costs to get the sub
scriber the publisher thinks he is
lucky.
Standard Best for Advertisers.
The maneger Of the Seattle Times
told the writer the other day that it
cost them $1.65 for each yearly sub
scriber to whom they furnished the
paper. Newspapers make their reve-
nue. out of the advertising space.
Space in a paper is valued according
to the paid circulation the paper has.
Space in some papers is worth 10
cents an inch while in others it sells
for IS an inch-circulation makes the
value.
The Standard now knows that it
has the best advertising medium in
county. The merchant that
uses the columns of the Standard will
now reap a harvest in direct returns.
Space in the Standard is now worth
three times what it was before the
contest opened. for it reaches rs per
cent of the population of the county,
and that is more than any other me-
dunn circulating in this section does.
Some Extra Votes.
The vote values that will be given
10 the candidates from now until the
,lose tomorrow night will be practi-
,ally the same as it was last week
with the exception that no special bal
OTIS will be given to the contestants
who turn in the highest number Of
for the period. That
means that 10000 extra votes will
still be given on each club of $25 in
5000 extra votes on
zach five-year subscription turned in,
md $500 on each relatives subscrip-
ion.
