SATURDAY, JUNE SIXTEEN
$4,000 Extra Votes Given On Each Club of
$500 Turned In On Or Before This Date.

Or Before This Date.
The opening period in the
Mammoth Salesmanship Club
campaign now running on THE
| INDEPENDENT shows near
ly a score of popular and ener-
getic men and women of this
section actively engaged in
getting new and renewal sub
scriptions to the paper. AS yet,
| of course, none of the candi-
dates have done their best
work but the close of the bonus
offer on Saturday, the 10th,
will find the ones who put in
their best work ahead in the
race, as after the votes de-
crease in value it will be a hard
matter for those who fall be-
hind now to catch up.
Those who really are in earnest
about desiring the Studebaker are ad-
vised not to let the hot weather ham,
per them from getting every subscrip-
ton possible. In fact, one should
work all the harder in seeing every
possible prospect while the subscrip-
tions count so many more votes than
will be allowed at the finish of the
drive.
Will You Be a Wfnner2
This is question which every
candidate must answer for himself or
herself. Will you work harder than
ever before each day and see every
possible prospect? II so then your
chances are indeed good. Even those
who live in the smaller rural sections
of the territory, have as good chance
as those who live right in Elizabeth
City. as there is no section in this
entire surrounding vicinity in which
THE INDEPENDENT does not cir
culatc. This gives every one an equal
chance as in every section there are
hundreds of residents who would
gladly take this popular paper.
Those who fail to get their full
share of bonus votes will have no one
to blame but themselves as it has been
consistently advertised. The subscrip-
tions connt less votes each period.
Those who listen to the ones who ad-
wise them TO hold back their sub
scriptions to the close of the drive
are indeed making mistake, as never
again after this offer closes will sub
scriptions count as many votes.
One young lady came into the CAM
paign Managers office last Saturday
and explained that quite a number of
her friends had advised her not to
turn in her votes until toward the
end of the drive. She stated that she
would certainly hate to turn them in
now and later on find that she could
have gained votes by holding them.
The Manager informed her that the
votes would decrease each period. and
,, that she would be foolish to listen
TO those who know nothing Of the
rules of the drive. To impress upon
her the fact that all rules would be
rigidly enforced. he explained that
he would donate 100000 to any
charitable institution in this section il
ever again after the close of this of.
fer the subscriptions would count as
many votes. This should convince
the most skeptical that THE INDE-
PENDENT means every word it says
in regards to the conduct of the cam
paign.
A Lesson In Mathematics.
As there have been some candidates
who have failed to understand the
vote schedule, the Manager would
say that just little thought and it
will be found that the schedule is
very simple. On the back of every
candidates receipt book is printed
the exact number of votes to BE- al-
lowed. This schedule is in effect all
during the campaign. but an extra
bonus of 10000 votes will be allowed
on each club of $1,000 in subscrip-
tions collected up to and including
the 18th of June. This club does
not have to be in ten year subscrip-
tons. but each fifteen dollars. wheih-
er in one or ten year subscriptions
yields the extra votes.
This means that each subscription
taken before the close Of this offer
averages near four subscriptions at
the closing period. 1t is evident
therefore just how important this
period is and why it is necessary that
one get their full share of subscrip-
tons in this period.
Still Time To Enter.
The polls for new entrants does not
close until the close of the bonus. Of
fer. SO there is still plenty of time to
enter. Some of the best territory is
as yet uncovered and anyone with
ambition and pep can make the next
four weeks the most valuable Of their
entire lives. In order TO enter, one
simply clips the coupon in the f'n! page
