This 1927 summer vacation cam
paign is like newspaper subscrip-
ton contest in that votes are issued
to the candidates for every subscrip-
ton to The Independent they secure.
But the similarity stops there.
These votes have definite cash
bvalue and may be converted into
actual cash Mt the office Of this
newspaper on or after Monday, Aug.
Is, 1927.
A green certificate is good for
1000 votes and 1000 votes have
cash value Of 25 cents.
Two green certificates are given
for each new scriptiOn toThe lnde-
pendent; one green certificate for
each renewal or extension of an old
subscription.
Then there are gold certificates
good for 1000 votes which are CIV
en- for every new subscription for
two years. These gold certificates
have q cash value Of $1.00 and are
worth the little extra effort it takes
to get them.
There is no gamble; every candi-
date fares and shares alike; every
candidate receives certificates for
the actual work she does and II she
fails to make the mark she sets out
for, or If she excels beyond the
