The Registers big automobile SUBJ
%scrlption campaign is already making
a big hit. Several nominations have
already come in and we expect a great
many more before next weeks p
goes to press. Next week we will pub
fish the list of those nominated and
send the necessary supplies to those
VINO have requested them. From the
way nominations are coming in now
we are under the impression that we
Will have a pretty large LIST of names
TO publish next week, but we know
from experience that not over ten per
cent of them will start and that there
will not be more than seven or eight
who will stay until the finish.
Everybody will have to admit that
we are making an exceptionally fine
offer, and that we have used GOOD
Judgment in picking the prizes to be
awarded.
The Maxwell touring car is well and
favorably known in thi slocality. Manv
or them are now in use and the local
dealer, Mr.. f. c. Fryer, expects to dis
pose of a large number this season.
We a state without hesitation that
the Maxwell is absolutely the best
car on the market for within two hun
dred dollars of it's price. The contest
car Will no nvhihifnd th,o,l..A o.
county and all interested parties will
have an opportunity of looking it over.
That 800 diamond ring certainly
ought to appeal to a great many peo-
pie. A diamond ring is a mighty
nice thing to have. It lends distinc.
ton and its just about the same as
carrying the money around with you,
because you can always cash them in
and usually at more than the purchase
price.
The third prize will be a SIS Graf
onola. This machine was purchased
Of F. II. Mitchell, the popular Brook
ings jeweler, and is now on display
in the window. Go and see it and I'm
sure you'll have to admit that it is
well worth winning in itself. The Col
umbia Talking Machines are known
throughout the world to be the best,
and this machine is one of the finest
that the Columbia people put out. It
is a new model with many improve
ments over all previous models. How
ever, to judge properly, you'll have to
see it for yourself.
The fourth and fifth prizes will be
gold watches. The fourth will, Of
course, be the best of the two, while
the fifth will rank next, but each of
them will be absolutely high grade
movements with twenty year Eases
Thefirst prize awarded will be a set
of 6 silver knives and forks, valued at
$500. This is just a special prize and
will be awarded to the candidate who
accomplishes the most up to and in
Guiding September Is. The votes on
the subscriptions turned in on this
special offer will count on the main
prizes just the same.
Now, really, don't you think we are
making a mighty fine offer to the am
bilious people Of this locality? Don't
you think we have picked a nice list
of prizes. and that our offer is based
on business principles?
Think this matter over a little; look
at it from every point of view, and just
decide in your own mind whether or
not you want to win one Of those
prizes. Remember, while you are
thinking it over that there will be five
grand prizes, and that every candidate
who fails to win a prize and who stays
to the finish of the contest, making
cash report each week, will receive
ten per CEN of the amount turned in
by them, as compensation, for the
time they have spent. You absolutely
cannot lose on this proposition. You
are assured of compensation for your
time. We have explained everything
