Closed Saturday Night.
TRIBUNE WISHES TO
THANK ALL MEMBERS
Judges Work Diligently in
in Order to Make the An
nouncement in Today's
Tribune and Times.
After holding the unwavering luter
eat nf Concord nml a ureal irt of the
Piedmont section for ten weeks, mid
establishing H record In newspaper an
nals In ttilH section, the lust 'hnter of
The ('uncord Tribune and The Con
cord Timet) Salesmanship t'lnli will lie
written when the delivery of the prises
to the winners, uminnnccd toda. Is
innile. The Judges nnd their as
sistants have worked tirelessly while
thousands of eoik' anxiously nwalt
ed the results
Not within the history of Ihix jwiper
has n newspnier campaign iittnicted
the enthusiastic nnd widespread Inter
eat that was shown during the race
wnirn enuen nuruniny nignr. ine
last week was especially noticeable.
Rivalry was intense, but friendly.
The Tribune and Times feel assured
that the successful ones merited the
prir.es for which they so earnestly
strlvetl. The number of votes turned
in by the members and their friends
was fairly staggering, and when the
judges ami their assistants met to tin-,
dertnke the task of counting them, it
would have been diseonragingly labor
ious but for the keen Interest even
they felt In (he success of the cam
paign and the knowledge they hud of
the popularity of the movement in ev
ery section where these two newsim
liers circulate. The conduct of the
count was methodical and businesslike.
The selection of the judges proved to
be admirable, nnd The Tribune and
Times extend to them , their felicita
tions and thanks.
The aggregate votes of the winners
reached enormous figures. The
winners of all prizes are well entitled
to success: they demonstnited, con
clusively that energy and persist
are potent factors In any.
HT cHsfrinmimi rmrnwbi
worth of awards, cash prizes and com
missions among the members 'ine
iTinuiie aim limes give vaiue receiv
ed for' their efforts in their behalf,
yet the intrinsic value of the awards
is not the only consideration to the
contestants. In the pursuance of their
individual campaigns for votes they
.have learned much thnt will lie of ln
efit to them. They hnve made many
new and pleasant, acquaintances. Some
have formed new ideas along business
lines. and most of them have develop-
-ed it keen sense of observation that
will pay many a future dividend. The
competition was splendid training ami
valuable, experience to all who partici
pated, it taught that courage is nec
essary to overcome the obstacles that
lieset the never ending conflict we call
-'life,1'
Of course, it is inevitable in a cam
liaign of this kind that all cannot win,
The club members understand thnt
when they enter. Right or wrong,
civilization seems to have accepted and
applied nature's own rule of "the sur
vival of the fittest." To accomplish
a given purpose, some effort is neces
sary, and fortune seems to lavish her
richest gifts upon those who are
ci i nipped with energy sufficient to car
ry out the mandates of. ambition.
Yet, to the men and women who
worked energetically During the caui
laign but failed to win. The Tribune
and Times extend their genuine 're
grets. Were it possible, ' we would
gladly remember every candidate with
a gift. If the thanks of The Trilmne
and Times cun, in a measure, lessen
the reeret of the losers, lei it be
theirs. The remarkable fortitude ills
played throughout the race nt least
reflects the lielief that those who did
not win will be "goad losers." The
Tribune" nnd Times appreciate the
kindly feeling and good will of every
man, woman, lioy and girl who en
tered whether they have 10,000 votes
or a thousand times 10,000. There is
a u wholesome satisfaction in the
thought that, though we try for a
goal and miss, our efforts are ear
nestly put forth.
To those whose energy has carried
them through the campaign to success,
The Tribune and Times extend hearty
congratulations. We are proud of Oh'
men and women who bare made tills
campaign such a remarkuble success,
and we hope the winners, who are
about to take possession of their
prizes by right of conquest, will in
turn be proud of their' reward.
We have dealt with real men nnd
women. Our relations Unve been
