LAST WEEK OF BIG SALESMANSHIP CLUB NEARS END; ALL MEMBERS DETERMINED | Closing Rules of the Salesmanship Club Are Announced ? * Members Are Making the Last Few Hours of Campaign Count the Most for Them ? Big Circulation Campaign Comes to Definite End Saturday Night, 9:00 O'Clock Rushing- through the last hours of a furious race for supremacy while time is ticking off the precious min utes, members of the Salesmanship Club in which a $2500 prize list will be distributed after Saturday night, will shortly wind up one of the greatest newspaper campaigns in the history of this section of North Car olina. Into levery home of this sec tion has spread the news that the "Golden horn of plenty" is about to be . tipped over and the hurry and ? scramble to come under its benefi cence is precipitating a veritable storm of y,otes. Topping the list of rich prizes is a wonderful Chevrolet Sport Sedan, I valued at $829.00, and as second prize a Ford Tudor Sedan, valued at i $504.00 is offered. These cars have won the admiration of thousands of I people. I Surprises in vote gains are being | sprung by members . aH over the j field. Already the mails are swell ing with the volume of votes and [subscriptions that are being sent in on the final report, but the height of this remarkable battle will be at tained Saturday night, ending in one grand spurt, when the call of "time" is shouted. Candidates Arc Working "Work without rest" is the por tion the members have picked out for themselves during the last few days, for the extreme, uncertainty of . just how many votes each member! qiay have makes it urgent that every thing possible be done to' make sure! of victory. Predictions are, of course, being made, but the ultimate out come is something no human can forecast. Certain it is, though, that two of the members will be proud owners of the two best prizes. Oth ers will be the happy recipients of the others -prizes and still others will win cash commissions. Everything in the campaign ter ritory pertaining to the Salesman ship Club is in orderly turmoil. Ex citement has become feverish and members are working like beavers to make their efforts count. The out side. districts are supporting their favorites nicely and they seem de termined that their candidates will come out victorious. Some of the members far down in the list have seen their opportunity and are taking advantage of it. "There's many a slip 'twixt the cup and lip," and likewise, many a slip is possible before the close of the cam paign. A member who rests now after making a good showing thus far is going to be . passed by some other candidate who has been busily tak ing advantage of the final" vote schedule and "Second Payments" this Week.
