thing Of the past. Only short time
now and you--I wonder if it will be
you who possesses the wonderful
FORD--or will it be some one else?
Believe me If | were a contestant ]
would go the limit during this last ex-
ira vote offer and pile up so many
votes that it would practically be inn
possible to be beaten. You ask, how
can | be sure? well of course there is
no way Of being too sure, but there is
just this much about it, the contest
ants who do the best on the last offer
will have the largest prizes. OF course
you might not have done much on the
last offer, but do enough on the pres
emit one to win that FORD.
You simply can't get too many
votes. You ought to realize that
il would be better to win by n mar
gin of 100000 or even 100000 vote
than to lose by single subscription,
therefore the thing to do is to get ev-
cry possible subscription besides get
ting all the support from your friends
and relatives on this last and only
extra vote offer.
Explanation of last offer
The last offer is in force between
and inclusive of March 18th to March
1Sth,, p. IN. This is fully explained
in the big ad, however, we are going
to give $4,000 extra votes on every
club Of seven 5-year subscriptions
turned in during this time. This means
that If you turned in fourteen 5-year-
subscriptions during this time you
would get 10000 extra votes. This
offer while it is nothing tremendous
is of the greatest Importance, and will
no doubt be quite a deciding factor.
tThis offer is on long term subscrip-
tions and is the last one to be made.
During the last three days only the
regular vote schedule will be in force,
therefore it will pay you to go your
limit on this offer Then of course
turn in all you can the last three
days.
Don't mix your dates. The last ex-
ira vote closes Wednesday March the
18th at p. m.-please try to get your
report in on time. The contest as Il
whole closes on March 2lst. at p.
m. and all contestants should report
in person on the last day, if possible.
If you can't come on the last day, be
sure to send your report 30 that it
will get in several hours before the
close,
