group of public spirited business
and professional men of North
Wilkesboro as show;’ on another
page in this issue. Through this
cooperation, these men have
made It possible for eight candi
dates in the “Cash Offer” cam
paign to earn an extra cash prize
of $5.00 at a season of the year
when extra money is highly ac
ceptable.
All business turned in this
week will also apply toward win
ning the $50.00 extra cash prize
that 1b being offered for the two
week period ending Saturday, De
cember 19. In order to receive
one of the extra cash prizes, the
candidate must bo present on
Saturday night after all reports
are in to answer tc her name
should it be called as a winner.
Candidates are cautioned •-
gainst the serious mistake ot
thinking that all the territory has
been canvassed. There are hun
dreds and hundreds of folks in
the field covered by this nowe-
e»nome who ore olwrwuh- j
who are potential subscribers
one or mor© years, and who have
not been approached for a sub
scription.
Don’t assume that the other
fellow has beaten you to It. Leave
no stone unturned and you will
be surprised at th© increasing
number of folks you will find
who have not been seen by the
workers.
There is every reason why
every family in this territory
should have The Journal-Pa’jtiot
and plenty of reasons why they
should pay for it in advance. Give
them the chance to help you
win the extra $25 cash prize.
They will b© glad to do so.
It Is generally conceded that
the winner of the $25 extra cash
prize this week will have a splen
did chance for the biggest award
at the end of the campaign. For
tunate indeed will 'he those can
didates who apply their time this
week to good advantage, for they
will undoubtedly reap the bene
fit later when subsciiptions are
harder to find.
Don’t forget the big vote sche
dule which is in effect this week.
Just double the regular. number
of votes as printed on front of
the receipt books will be allowed
on all subscriptions turned in
before Saturday evening.
