Additional Payment Explained

Suppose your friend gave you 500 during the early
part Of the campaign and you received 5000 point credits.
Later this same party pays you an additional 500 on the
same edition Of the Herald, you would receive 5000 point
credits on the subsequent payment. In other words you
will get as many points as you would if the entire $14.OO
had been paid at one time. If another candidate gets the
first payment Of 500 and you get the second payment OF
$500 the party turning in the first payment would be en-
titled to 5000 point credits and the candidate turning in
the second 500 payment would be entitled to $1,000
points. Additional payment credits are not allowed unless
first payment has been received in the Herald office pre-
vious to the time that the additional payment. is received.
