| @ clock noCn the ballot box clOseA
| in the Reviews Piano Contest, and
| as soon as the Results in the final
count can be canvasSed awards will
be made of the piano and also OF
the various prizes which have been
offered by the Philip merchants.
This event, we know, means a
great deal to all of the contestants
| and fir i'm now until the date a.
bove named, why not make your
effort commensurate with the
stakes involved.
We want you to read this article
rom start to finish and digest
thoroughly every word of it. 1t
-arries a message that is invaluable
you if yFMr plan is to be sue
oessf'ul and if you are to be the
victor in this contest. In a way
ress can only be achieved by
IN own personal efforts
First, we wish TO impress upon
contestants the necessity of getting
light out now and doing the work
you have intended to do before the
omest came TO close. IL sur
face indicati ms are to be relied
"pon, it would appear that not
single one of the contestant has
| undertaken as thorough a canvas az
is possible to make. They have
.ehied too much on chance meeting
TO present their appeal to friends
and aequaintances, and while many
subscriptions have come through
this means the number could have
been materially increased by max
| 'ng it syst ematic.lt is by no means
loo late ITO do this yet.
Any one cf the contestants could
go over the TWINS block by block
and through the country farm by
farm, without material inter
ference with other duties il she
has set her mind to the task.
DO not delay. DO not procasG-
nate.
DO it NOW.
The days and hours that you
filter away now can never be re-
called, but the advantage of these
days devoted to insistent and de-
termined work are of incalouable
value. Every subscription Or merch-
ant S coupon you get today abso-
lutely stops me other contestant
from getting that subscription or
coupon-furth ermore. the pers N
who gave you that subscription or
or coupon becomes impressed with
yeur candidacy and not satisfied
with having given his or her own
subscription, becomes a booster for
y-ur campaign among his or her
friends.
Advertising pays-in this cam
paign as we'll as dn mercantile af-
fairs. Show your friends in an un-
mistakable way that you are in this
contest and that you are in to win.
Ytn cannot expect them to know.
or guess that you are candidate:
be active i'm impressing the fact
upon them and not permitting them
10 lose sight of that fact until the
| ballot box is finally closed. In 9th
er words. your success depends up
on the energy you display and de-
*ermnatitn you put forth to win
| Above all, do not permit a few re-
fusas to discourage you; keep on
trying.
Make it a point to get out on
this work tomorrow morning and
keep right at the task for a week
or until the day for the final
every one. AM who can pNssib1y
do so win be glad to help you and
Will consider n a privilege to do 50
but that privilege is going to be
deserved for the contestant who
asks 1or it-fn but few instances
can the person be expected to
hunt up the contestant and thus be
doing an work for her when 1t -
she herself who should be doing
the work
You can almost guage the help
you vim get by the enthusiasm
and energy you develop yourself 70
make It a pEtnt to get right into
the fight at once and keep IA the
thick OF II oontinually from now
until the close OF the contest. II
