If yen want an automobile of you’- own—a beatlful car with a rep utation for reliability and quality. If you want a car of the better class and are willing to put forth a little ef fort there .s no reason why you can not win. “I Can’t” Nearly every candidate and any one thinking of entering will say: “Oh, I can try, hut 1 know I can’t win it.” All will be of th e same opin ion but the one who decides that he can win and has the confidence to do his very best is more than 1 kely to be proclaimed the winner. Make up your mind now to win the car or one of the big cash prizes. Remember, that subscriptions at the beginning count for more votes than later on. This is done in fairness to the ones that get out and hustle at the start, J and will not allow anyone to step in at the last and win. Hurry and Get in and Win Understand that every active con testant who fails to win one of the big prizes will be paid for their ef forts as explained in the announce- i ment of the big event.
