The race Is still remarkably close
and no one has the slightest reason
10 be electing themselves winners as
yet. While there is only two weeks
until the end of the race much can
happen in that two weeks. The re-
suits during (he second period just
closed were heavy. No one meber
did so much but everyone did well
IN fact much better than was expect
ed. II Is therefore easy to be seen
that all Of the more active workers
are now thoroughly in1bued with
the spirit OF winning and they will
set a real pace from now until the
finish.
Some may think that the entire
field has been covered and that there
Is little chance TO secure new sub
scriptions from now on. This is a
wrong impression The field IS a big
one and it has hardly been scratch
ed. Those who really mean bust
ness and who go after them with
the do or die" spirit will find that
the opportunities for securing sub
scriptions are practically unlimited.
Those who have so far done we'll
should do even better from now on
Every member should make up his
or her mind that nothing is going to
overtake them With a $4,000 home
and four big Studebaker automobiles
at stake there is plenty OF incentive
and those who finish the big winners
will be those who don't stop a minute
IN their sales efforts
The list OF members will be pub
ished again on Sunday.
