While all cannot win the car there are several other suit able prizes for those who have come close to the goal.
 The Empire inaugurated this cam paign for the express purpose of in- creasing the already large list of subscribers, and from The Empires s standpoint the campaign has been a success, while we realize that there are bound to be some disap- pointments, we only wish that we could award 2 car to each of the contenders, for they worked indus triously during the campaign.
