RACE FOR THE BUICK
is CLOSE AND FAST
LESS THAN COST OF A SPARE
TIRE DIFFERENCE IN THE
STANDINGS TODAY.


more days to go great interest is be-
ing manifested by everyone in this
section as to who will win the $1,000
Buick five-passenger touring car, the
$3.50 six-piece American walnut bed
room suite, and the 5000 Edison phon-
ograph to be given away next Satur-
day night The contest ends at 8 p.
M, Saturday, December 9th, and there
remains only seven contestants COM
peting for these three grand prizes.
That means practically every worker
has to l chance of winning prize
worth at least 5000.
While the $1,000 Buick car pur-
chased of and on display at the Daw-
son Buick company's, is the goal to-
ward which all seven are striving the
second prize, worth $3.50, and the third
prize of 5000 value are very attractive.
A cash commission will also be paid
all contestants working to the end of
the race, in accordance with the rules.
Most Critical Period.
Every one of the seven workers
should keep her attention and efforts
fixed on a supreme effort to win the
$1,000 Buick, for the candidate who
does not make a sincere and determin-
ed effort to win the $1,000 Buick may
lose second or third position to the
ones who make a real fight for first
honors. All the contestants and their
friends should fully appreciate the fact
that these last four days is the most
critical period of the campaign. For 1t
is now that the leaders show tenden-
cy to slow up in their efforts, and the
nearest contenders not intrequently
show bursts of speed that take them
into the first ranks.
Neck-and- Neck Race.
When racers are eveny matched we
look for a neck-and-neck finish in the
last lap of the race. In The Dawson
News campaign from the present in
dications the end on December 9Th
will be very close. The contestants are
surprisingly evenly matched, and it is
highly probable that the winner OF
the Buick auto will win with very
small margin of subscription business.
"Rumor Time"
This is the stage of a subscription
campaign when the various candidates
are subjected to a number of familiar
rumors, any of which, if believed and
acted upon, may cost the person be-
lieving them $1020-the price of first
prize; or $3.50, the price of the second
prize; or $500, the price OF the third
prize. For if you listen and believe
and stop work now you may throw
away all your past time and labor OF
these weeks you have been III the race,
for if you come in fourth when you
might as we'll come in first you have
actually lost the $1,000 Buick by listen
ing to one who probably refused to
help YOU with $3.50 subscription, but
did help you to lose heart by bum ad-
vice.
