fords a real opportunity to someone

are not financially situated so that
they can do so. 1t would take years
Of saving on the part of most people

plished by spare time effort for a few
weeks in this campaign.

Knowing that everyone would not
desire the same kind of a home as to
ocality, style and so forth, The News
Times did not buy any particular
home. Arrangements were made
with Whitcomb & Keller, well known
builders or modern homes, whereby
the winner can select any home they
have for sale that can be purchased
for $4,000 in cash. or. if preferred,
that amount can be. applied on the
purchase OF a more expensive home.
The home will go TO the member
OF the Salesmanship Club who fin
ishes the campaign with the greatest
number Of credits. -Four Studebaker
automobiles go to the four next high
est members. and there are many
other valuable and desirable awards
for those who are not fortunate
enough to finish IN the high positions
but that isn't all. there is something
for everyone regardless Of their final
position. Under the plan of the Cam
paign, every active member who fails
70 win one Of the 81 awards Will be
paid a commission of 10 per cent. An
