s. S 600 i'm Free Prizes

The magnitude of the enterprise
is based upon widespread partici-
patton in the voting campaign.
1t cannot in the very nature OF
the set-up be a race for two or
three. Therefore, YOU MAY BE
SIGHTING AN OPPORTUNITY
YOU MAY NEVER GET AGAIN
IF YOU DO NOT ENTER.
1t makes no difference what
your occupation, if any; what
your age or sex, or where you
live; these is, and will be for
seven weeks, a chance for you to
win a magnificent prize-to earn
as much as $3.50 per week.
All you need to do to enter is
send in the nomination blank pub
1ished elsewhere in this issue.
Spart Time Only.
As to the time you can devote
to the campaign, The Pleasant
vile Press has arranged the COM
petition as a spare-time activity.
Your chances of winning a
grand prize need not be lessened
by the fact that you hold a job
that takes most of your waking
time.
In fact, we prefer that you be
employed. Busy people make the
best candidates. YOUR JOB
MAY BE THE MEANS OF YOUR
WINNING A $1740 AUTOMO-
BILE
Someone is going to win it. 1t
might as we'll be YOU.
Assuming that you already have
decided to go after one of the
many prizes offered, what next ?
The big factor in winning any
race is getting away at the crack
of the pistol. The advantage of
an early start in such a stupen-
dous prize distribution as is being
outlined is even more pronounced
than in one that requires more
physical power
BY entering Immediately you
give yourself and your aequaint-
ances more time in which to &C
cumulate votes for you. That is
only ONE advantage of early en-
try.
Another is that by getting your
name in the first list of contest
ants, your determination to win
gets wider advertising than if you
hold off, and the more publicity
YOU get the more your friends and
well-wishers will do toward help
ing you win.
A third reason for getting into
the running at once is that your
announcement will have the effect
of fixing you in the minds OF
friends, among your work asso-
ciates, in the group in which you
travel and your neighborhood as
THEIR LOGICAL CANDIDATE.
Rules governing the campaign
are easy to grasp. It might be a
good idea to keep them handy for
reference in fact, the whole dou-
BILE page campaign announcement
to appear Tuesday should be pre-
served, because it can answer
many of your later questions, or
those raised by your constituents
in the prize race.

a good sized automobile.
This new car will be manufactur-
