So 3 >3 3 it is a plan that works both Wwys, 3 3j 3 and to the ultimate good of all con 3? cerned. < ? In order to gain this end quickly 3333 and advantageously, the valuable and 3 33 3 attractive prizes offered by The En 3 3< ? terprise has been made ready for dis < >3 3 tribution among those who partici 3 3; 3 .pate most heartily. 3 3j [ Ambition and energy are the only < '< ? requisites for success. The plan o33 adopted is fairest and most impartial < ? ' * ? *- *- *- * -t??t?t?t?f _t.jt.j_ j i ?. .t. J ?J conceivable. There will be no "dou ble" vote offers, extra votes given or ! any extra vote inducement whatao- * ever inaugurated during this com petition, other than what is an nounced in this issue. Neither will there be any subscriptions accepted \ for more than five years. The plan of the campaign is straight forward ! and simple and is fully outlined in \ this announcement. Let it be understood at the very outset that this is not a "beauty" j nor "popularity" contest, but a strict- ] ly legitimate competitive proposition for enterprising men and women, and i boys and girls, and one in which no \ elements of chance enter. One fea ture of this competition is the fact that there will be no losers in this ! race. ] ?i..!..!. .5. 4.4.4..*. *4.4..}. 4. 4.4.4. wm ttttttvttttttttttttttttttt-, . , , . . ijjj How to Enter the Campaign j ! I< > The first step in order to become a candidate and compete for a prize, is to * \ [< > clip the nomination coupon appearing elsewhere, fill in you name and address + j ^ I and mail or deliver to the Campaign Department of The Enterprise. This + (i< ? coupon entitles you or the person whom you might nominate to 5,000 FREE + J !< > votes. These votes are given you as a starter, and speed you on your way to J j > win. Only one such nomination will be accepted for each candidate entered. | . .? ?n?ri?r ?' ??? ?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ^ il How Votes Are Secured I *? + (>< ? The next step is to call on or write < \* * the Campaign Department for a free < >< * 1><' working outfit, consisting of an offi < >< ? < ? cial receipt book, sample copies of i * The Enterprise and other informa (>< > tion relative to launching an active J [< ? campaign. j [1 > Thus equipped you have but to go I your friends and neighbors, rela ' tives and acquaintances and have < M > them clip the free coupons from their J J I ? papers and pay up a subscription in this newspaper through you. THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT. However, J h J you will never win anything unless * * J you make the start; and while it wiil * m ? not be a very difficult matter to J h ? capture one of the big cash prizes, \ | nevertheless, it is necessary that you start early. You must plan out your <?0 campaign the same as any successful < h > business man plans out his work for * [J J a season, and above everything else, <M * let no one discourage you, but stick to it to the finish. Anything worth | having is worth striving for. A few + short weeks and you have earned + real money. + It takes votes to win, and clipping J the coupons appearing in The Enter- + prise is one way; start gathering + them NOW! Later these coupons will J be reduced to a lesser number of + votes. The only restriction placed + on voting coupons is that they must + be deposited at the Campaign De- ? partment of The Enterprise on or be- + fore the expiration date printed ? thereon. Get your friends to save * these for you?they all count. The * other and faster way to get votes is + by securing new and renewal sub- + scriptions to The Enterprise. On each subscription turned in a certain + number of votes are issued varying + according to the amount paid and * during which "period" same are re- J ceived at the Campaign Department + See schedule of votes elsewhere. + + is; Early Start Means Early Finish | 3 m I The advantages of an early start 3 33 3 are manifest. Not only do you have 3 h ? the FULL TIME in which to secure < H > the winning votes, but now and up 3 J | to and including October 9th you < h ? will receive the maximum schedule < m i of votes on subscriptions, then, to 3 33 3 the first in the field will undoubted ly go the "cream" of votes and sub- + scriptions, while those who put off + entering until a later date will have + to take what is left. + + Don't lose valuable time waiting * to "see what the other fellow is go- + ing to do?"" but pitch right in and + show the "other fellow" how to do it.
