AUG. 31. 1923 Rush For Second Period Crdits On In Earnest ( In Journal's Club O Best remaining Credit Offer in "Sales" Drive in now on and will last until Saturday Sept. 8 ? After that time Third Schedule of Votes will be effective? A decline of 25 per cent in subscrip tion credits went into effect at 6 o'clock Satur day night? There will be another 25 per cent decline in credits at 8 o'clock Saturday night, September 8 ? Watch these dates ? September 8-15. o ? lii-ie is the first published stand |mj at the "live wire" Club Mem bers after the close of the first Period of the Journnl's Salesman ship Club Saturday night, Sept. 25. Did they "no over the top"? We'll sav so. Compare their relative standings of today with the pub lished standings August 24 and you will sa\ so. Excitement and jntensa activity prevails among the Club Members in the Salesmanship campaign as each t'luh Member realizes that she is in reach of a prize worth as much as $1250.1)0 and to be won or lost dur in the next two weeks, depending al most entirely upon the number of subscriptions turned in while the BIG ??Second Period" is on, and which expires at 8 o'clock Saturday uight, September 8. 1 Club members are now gohig af ter every subscription, and extension on subscriptions that they have secured earlier in the campaign, in sight ; they realize that they must fortify their present standing with every available subscription and ex tension as, at the present writing it is "anybody's race". So close are the head-lines running that any one of them ean wiu a motor car in the short time that remains. The First Period of the Salesman ship Club, which closed on Saturday night, was a great success. Tens of thousands ? yes, hundrafs, of thou sands? of credits were issued and every "1JYK" club member prolit ed nightly. ' It is a strange coincidence, too, and something very unusual in af fairs of this kind, but each of the club mcmcbcrs who were striving for the capital prize aiito benefited so equally during the period just closed that not without hair line figuring could today's leader be determined. The campaign, therefore, so far as the relative standing of the club members are concerned, depends al most entirely ui>on the results at tained by the different club members between now and the linish of the . <> campaign as to whom the winner " will be. ? , The above is not "mere talk" for the sake of telling it, but it is a real fart? theories and ridiculous, silly nimors not with standing. Hence, the struggle for supremacy will be fought out during the next few days because the campaign comes to a close two weeks and one day from this date. The final close of the cam PRti will be Saturday night, Sep tember 15th. wiring the. second credit period cmling Saturday night, September wb at 8:1(0 o'clock sharp, subscrip tions will count BIG and there is a lot of them to be obtained if y?u make the effort to secure them, 111 fact, they count almost as many Wedits now as they did in the First \ ? For example, a six year subscription^ turned in during the Second Period counts 370,000 credits * ere l'orniely 4G0,000 credits were | S"' Then too, EXTENSIONS LOIXT RIG. it WILL pay you V* To OVER LOOK THEM. Better Be Safe Than Sorry, i W mora lups and the race will wer: two weeks end one day and ?';'l'ai-n will end. Only a very 0 time remains to choose between lt ?r> and defeat. Don 't overlook sta^r'0 C''illicc ^tter your credit t?an "u<^ "ic''ease your oppor J*** to win. .Avail yourself of tr.V opportunity this BIG second ^ offers you. something to win in a the kind- ? it means to fa* ?M-, r 01 "IC SportModel Durant ?f e " ^ is a demonstration ^ aI>'iut\ and salesmanship which Htqy^.1' ,U)"'i1)ar.v- Sometimes it l ' ul> the < ' yellow ' ' in your u?d rcvcals yo^r truc ^ ^ 't ul ways ^gsts 0 T tie and measures your strength. Don't let any one discount sre you don't listen to or believe the rumors that will be started i'or damaging effect. If some one had secured five or ten times as many subscriptions as you have, they WOULD NOT TELL IT. If they did, that would give you a chance to secure twice as many as they say they have and they do not want you to do that therefore, all rumors are bunk pure and simple.
