The opening Of the West virginian
1000 Club" has been heartily well
coined by the public, both, in Fairmont
and in: the outlying districts which are
to be included in the campaign.
Although the West ..Nirginlan has
conducted previous contests and dis.
tributcd large amounts in prizes, new
er before has there been such yalu-
able aggregation Of awards offered,
nor such, an interesting plan OF; distri.
button, and theflargc number Of nom.
nations received by the Manager OF
the 1909 Club both Wednesday and
Thursday proves that these facts are
appreciated by the public
This is the first campaign ever in.
augurated In Fiarmont or vicinity
where there has been such generous
awards for everyone. No matter how
many enter tho club, there will be a
cash prize for every member who fails
to win the Overland Six-cylinder Car
or one OF the other splendid prizes.
The plan OF campaign Is worthy Of
special consideration. 1t is a high
grade business proposition. There Is
nothing OF the bluster. of the ordinary
contest connected with it, In any way
1t is an opportunity such as comes
but once in lifetime, where you have
every chance to win. big stakes, and
where you have absolutely no chance

nothing-not, a single penny. "A little
of your spare time and one Of the
valuable awards Is yours.
.5 The Districts,
The territory included in the cam
paign has been divided so that every.
one has an equal opportunity to carry
OF the highest honors of the cam.
,paigl. Outside Of tho grand capital
prizes, candidates are competing for
the prizes with none except, the other
candidates In their own district. In
this respect there are two separate
contest running at once, and closing
the same day. Separate awards have
been provided in each district thus
making it so much. easier for anyone
interested to win anyone Of the prizes
