ON THE HOME STRETCH

In about ninety-six hours now and
you will either have won or lost the
Ford car that was so easily yours had
you properly placed your energy and
worked hard to win. For six or seven
weeks you have been trying possibly
not your very best, but right on the
eve of the final count you are probably
wasting more time than you should.
You should make your final report the
heaviest of them all. You see there
are four or five of you that are prac-
tically tied on even footing and it will
be the person that keeps up their
courage and works hard up to the very
last that will be the winner. Five and
ten year subscriptions should be what
you work for and work hard but even
at that grab every subscription that you
can regardless of amount and although
you may feel that you have exhausted
your powers stir up all the life that
you have left take new breath and go
after it harder than ever and add all
the the renewed energy that you can
for this is your last chance and you
will hate it like sin if you find out
after the race that you might have
won had you worked just little
harder. Don't miss a moment for
they are worth dollars to you. You
could get more long term subscrip-
tions if you thought that you would
win by so doing. You never can
tell whether or not but what they
will win for you, so go after them and
you will find later on in the race that
they will win for you. l feel sure
that you can get more of them so
don't delay but go after them and
make things hum now these last few
hours for the car lays in balance
and you might as we'll come to the
front as a winner and the few sub
zcriptions that you get might grow
into many by repeated trials and in
this way your end of the balance may
designate that you are the winner
Of the car. If you could win by
getting few more subscriptions you
would do it and l would advise you to
get them for this race is awfully
close.
There is not a contestant that has
such lead that they could really
think that they had the car cinched,
for the simple reason that few long
term subscriptions will over balance
any vote that has heretofore been
cast. 1t is now a matter of who
makes the largest final report. Will
you be the winner? That is the i'm
portant question and if you work
hard every moment up till the final
call of the gong on Oct. Oath at z
p. m. you will be able to indicate
the answer to the question who will
win the Ford.
When the judges take the ballot
box TO the bank for the final count
then and then only will you be too
late to do any thing more. Regrets
after p. m. Saturday will do you
no good, they will avail you nothing
and it is only the acts of the most
energetic sort between now and then
that will help you. After the count
of the judges it will do no good to
repeat the fact that you could have
gotten subscriptions from certain
people. 1t is the getting ,ot every
possible subscription now that will
aid you and make you successful.
Rally your friends to your sup
port and tell them that you need
their assistance and very bit of 1T
that they can give you and that their
regrets afterwards will do no good
and that they can help you like
sixty now. 1t is case of now or
never. From past experience L
know that the winner will probably
have several thousand votes more
than the competitors and still you
can never tell for the winner will be
the one that works the hardest right
