Many Calls For
Dispatch Premiums

Already the Dispatch has placed =
good many more of the pen and pencil
sets than we had anticipated at The
opening of the campaign We knew
we had a splendid premium and haj
obtained same ON such favorable term.
than we could offer it absolutely free
We did not know however, how easy
it would be to convince our readers
that we are offering them something
really worth while.
However, as soon as calls were mad
at this office to view the display and
sets started going out into the hands
OF subscribers the demand took on q
very healthy color indeed. Neighbors
told neighbors of the fine premium
that could be obtained from the Dis.
patch free and this with our own ef
forts to advertise the offer have re-
suited in splendid showing to date
And, of course, the peak of demand
Is just now arriving. While hundreds
have already been in to secure their
premium, hundreds more are due 70
take advantage of the offer before
end Of the campaign.
The fine results are really not sur
prising when one considers that the
Dispatch is offering premium with
universal appeal, one adapted to the
use of everyone and needed by every
man, woman and child Of school age.
There is scarcely reader of this pap
er who does not have daily use of
writing equipment and rarely is there
a home so well supplied that every
member of the family has own indivi-
dual pen and pencil sets. Hence, the
premium we offer is one that can be
untitled to an advantage in every
home.
This universal need and adoption
along with the fact that the Dispatch
is giving the sets away absolutely free
explains very clearly why the offer is
proving so highly successful.
Another factor is the high quality
of these sets and the fact that they
are fully guaranteed. Each set carries
guarantee slip.
The Dispatch has made it very easy
to obtain one Or more of these re-
markable fine writing sets. The only,
requirement is to pay $500 for a
year IS subscription to this newspaper
the regular established price for many
years, and a set is yours free. The pay
ment can be for renewal subscription
or a new one. The offer is made on
the same basis to everyone without
any restrictions or stipulatlons ana
regardless of whether your subscrlp-
ton is now due or does not expire for
several months. In the latter case
vour subscription will be extended
full wear from the expiration date.
More than one set can be obtained
bv and reader as we arc giving set
with each $500 paid
While there is still ample time to
take advantage of this very remark
