ing its circulation building plan
ing its circulation buildin g plan
which is called to the attention of the
people of Bingham county in the
issue of today. is departing from the
usual custom in such enterprises
and is taking the people of Bingham
county and the surrounding terri
tory in as partners, that is, the bene-
fits to be derived are to be shared
with them, and the plan calls for a
distribution of FIVE THOUSAND
DOLLARS.
The fifteen years successful busi-
ness of The Idaho Republican gives
the publication and the institution
it represents character and stand
ing in this community that only
years of faithful service and work
can bring and The Idaho Republican
in this campaign will live up to that
reputation of the absolutely square
deal and the conduct Of the cam
paign on that basis and none other.
This is home proposition. The
two beautiful automobiles, the last
word in automobile perfection, have
been bought from home dealers by
The Idaho Republican and are to be
given to home people SO that every
dollar will represent home enter
prise.
The object of the subscription
campaign is to increase the circula-
ton of The Idaho Republican. In
so doing The Idaho Republican as
business institution will prosper;
that being so, why is it not perfectly
logical that those who make the
prosperity possible should share in
it?
The opportunity that presents it.
self to those who will enter the con-
test is one that has never before
been presented on anything like the
magnitude or the scale with which
this is presented. 1t would have
been possible to offer the contest
ants as rewards for their labor
prizes of less value, but that has
never been the policy of The Idaho
Republican. 1t is FIRST CLASS and
THE BEST or NONE and that is the
policy that the campaign will be run
on.
Every contestant may feel assured
that he or she will receive honorable
and fair treatment in every partic-
ular. The Idaho Republican is go
ing into this campaign with the idea
of strengthening the paper, making
friends for, the paper and business
and not enemies, which could not
help but result were the campaign
conducted in any but the most fair,
impartial and open manner
Another point you are asked to
bear in mind and that is no person
is being asked to make any effort
whatever without an assurance of
ample compensation. Every partici-
pant who complies with the condi-
tions of the distribution is rewarded
in proportion to the effort they
make.
1t would have been a less expen-
sive method for The Idaho Repub-
lican to employ people to take up the
matter of circulation, but that would
have been a departure from the idea
of profit sharing with those who
make The Idaho Republican possi-
BILE. Instead of employing people
from outside sources to come to
Bingham county and to pay them
big commissions for their efforts,
The Idaho Republican prefers that
what benefits and profits there are
go to the people of Bingham county.
In making up this list of FIVE
DOLLARS in rewards
and prizes only the best has been
considered and as final word we
wish to pledge our word that the
contest will be absolutely honestly
and openly conducted with no room
for criticism and other than favor
able comment, and on that The Ida /
Ia Republican and we as publishers
pledge ourselves. BYRD TREGO.
