DANBURY REPORTER Volume 55. Big Circulation Drive Launched Two Costly Cars Are Part Of "The Wonder Prize List"i r GREATEST OFFER EVER MADE TO READERS OF THE DANBURY REPORTER LIBERAL CASH COMMISSIONS FOR THOSE NOT AWARD ED PRIZES CAMPAIGN VVIEL BE SHORT, COVERING ONLY SIX WEEKS—ENTRY BOOKS ARE NOW OPEN With a more stupendous list than has ever been offered in this vicinity in a similar un dertaking The Reporter makes formal announcement of a cir culation drive in which hund reds or dollars worth of bii awards and cash commissions will be given away. A two page announcement in this issue gives the details of this gigantic enterprise. The two automobiles are of the most popular and latest models, and the list consists of syme of th most alluring and attractive prizes imaginable. The object of this circulation drive is twofold. It will in crease the already wide and highly creditable circulation of this newspaper to even great er proportions. It will also in troduce to many new homes Stokes county's only weekly FIRST PRIZE Chrysler 2-Door Sedan VALUE, $855.00 This paper is go ing to pay its friends hand somely for helping introduce the publication to other triends and neighbors. The prize list is headed with two of Ihe latest model automo biles. There is an abundant supply of cash with wnich to prv cash commissions to those wn. do not win one of the prizes. The plan adopted by The Re porter is a novel one. This paper could reach thousands of new readers by employing scores of solicitors to cover this section but it would take quite a long while to do the work thoroughly. In inaugurating the circulation drive The Re oorter adopted a better plan— a quicker method. This plan » nlso gives its friends and read- an opportunity to earn big . ewards during their spare time. The circulation drive SECONI) PRIZE New Ford Coupe VALUE, $565.00. will make a lot more noise and create interest and fun —there is nothing like having some fun along with business. Big Pay For AIL I An especially attractive fea ture of the "Circulation ♦Drive" m that all will be paid hapd fsmely for the results they v ob- tain. A cash commission of! twenty per cent will he paid to all who do not win one of th.' prizes. Thus, the circulatio 1 drive is a sure thing from the beginning. Their reward de pends entirely on the effort put forth, and the results obtained. Spare Time. All one is expected to do in | order to earn one of the splen did prizes is to devote his (»;• I her spare moments to obtain-! ing subscriptions to The Re porter. In fact, sufficient tim«-" is allotted to the campaign to allow one to see every friend and acquaintance during span time. The campaign will last six weeks beginning with lho first published list of candid ates' names. A Great Oopportunity. The word "automobile" is the biggest word in the Ameri can vocabulary today, and ju.-i how. to make it possible to own a good car h;is perhaps been the thought uppermost in tii-' minds of many. Those who al ready have automobiles are contemplating the ownershi > of a bigger one; those who do not at th(; present time pos sess a good automobile are more than likely laying thei:* plans for one in the near fu ture. Here is the opportunity io own an automobile —the most popular on the automobile market today—and v.iihotß the cost of a penny. Husiness Proposition. In offering such valuable awards to those who take an active interest The Reporter is not playing the role of a phil anthropist—neither is it a something-for-nothing scheme. It is a business proposition pure and simple. The thous ands of dollars worth of prizes and cash will be given in ex change for well directed efforts on the part of the contestants. The awards themselves assure each and everyone that their efforts will bear fruit to tlu; fullest extent. Early Start Is Best. In every man's life there is one big moment when he makes a decision that robs him of success —or leads him to fortune. The world is full of thoses who yearn for better things that never seem to come. The action is missing but let him see and grasp the opportunity and there will b an amazing transformation in his fortunes. The moment ho decides for or aganist that op portunity—whether he will seize it or let is pass—he de tides the whole future course of his life. The main thing in the circulation drive is to get an early start in the race —it means everything to those who have ambition and a lea:r« to succeed. So the first and b?t thing to do is to enroll y-.-vr name at once and iHen get out Danbury, N. C, Wednesday, Jan. 11, 1928 Ex-Go v.

Winston-Salem, Jan. 11. — The leaf tobacco market had a pre-holiday appearance this morning, there being more to bacco here than any day since the re-opening today. Cars rolled into the warehouses at a lively clip during the early hours, and some kept coming in all day, the result being the buyers were kept busy until late in the afternoon. It was estimated in the neighborhoo I of 800,000 pounds were sold during the day, the sales not being at as fast a clip as when the market was crowded. Prices on the cigarette typ s were very satisfactory to the growers and the better grades of dark leaf sold at very good prices, but the dark common i-; showing practically no chang.- and is selling low. The weather today was ideal for selling and there were i large number of growers on the market. Many of the cars coming in had only a few hundred pounds of tobacco, showing very plainly that the growers are fast winding up their selling and much of to day's offerings consisted of common dark tips. Some tobacco was seen sell ing at 40 cents and better, but these were good cigarette types, which have been in de mand throughout the; season. Speed Laws May He Abolished Paul C.

Think Pee Dee Bridge Demolition Wasteful Elizabeth City, Jan. 10.— That Swift Island bridge across the Pea Dee river near Albemarle, Staniy county, whose destruction by aviators with high explosives has been much in the papers in recent weeks, is a most exceedingly sore subject with people in that part of the state, according to Dr. William Parker, of this city, who has just returned home after having spent the holidays with relatives in Albemarle.
