ONLY ONE WEEK REMAINS OF THE REPUBLICAN’S AUTOMOBILE AND PIANO CONTEST

Have You Done All That You Should To Win That Ford Touring Car?

Only one week from today .and the largest contest that was ever attempted by a newspaper of this size will come to a close, and there are any number of candidates who are in line for the first honors, and the few remaining days will decide the winners. The race is going to be so close between some of the candidates that in most cases a few years’ subscriptions will win a better prize, and when you consider the amount of prizes we are giving it is enough to make you sit up nights and figure where you are going to get some |nore. votes. It is x possible for any of the candidates in the race from the beginriing to carry off first honors if they will take advantage of the few remaining days and do a little canvassing among their friends for subscriptions. Votes will ivin, and you can’t have too many; better ■.have a few thousand too many than a few hundred too few. Do It Now. If you are going to make the winning plunge and turn in a lot of subscriptions, do it in this week. For goodness sake, don’t wait for the last minute. Strike while the iron is hot and keep it hot by striking. Don’t let up until the contest is over. No one has won as yet, and no one knows who will win until the contest is over and the votes have been tallied by the Judges, who will have charge of the last count of votes and the awarding of the prizes. Are you going to have the honor of beating all your competitors and winning that big touring car, or are you going to be an “also ran?” Will You Be One of the Seven? Have you secured the voting coupons and subscriptions that will give you one of these free prizes? Have you devoted your spare moments getting the coupons and subscriptions? Do you want to get them? Then get busy. In a week you can accomplish wonders. You can show your friends and relatives that you are a hustler Instead of a steady plodder. You can sl>ow them that you are in the class of people who get what they go after in the least possible time. Some men and women have won vast fortunes in a week. Why not you win a car? Here are the prizes you can win One Ford Touring Oar. One S3OO Upright Piano. One S2OO Building Lot. One $65 Domestic Sewing Machine. One $25 Hold- Prize. One S2O Gold Watch. One $5 in Gold. 10 Tier cent to.non-prizfe winners. Below are the nominations and votes cast for publication up to last night: Miss Ruth Callahan 48,175 Paul Beam 68,175
