Bstness and the outlook.
S&Adelpliin Record.
Bttnttnmnal weather in spots has
Manifested itself sufficiently to en
jPkrage retailers to the belief that
Kr ultimate consumer is not only able
; 1> buy, but is also willing to buy, at I
Prevailing prices. This has resulted
ftjj something of a broadening of oder
llf from the wholesalers, who in turn
’fust not depend too mitch on quick

ore marked in the textile industry,
here substantial contracts running
do the first quarter of next year
ive been placed, and iron and steel
ippducers have a larger volume of

tecial development in the coal skua

The Government's cotton crop e*ti-1
.ate last week proved a considerable
irpri*c to the trade, placing the
robable production at nearly 14.-
)0,000,000 bab*s. Its immediate ef

Reports from Boston indicate that i
ic wool market remains highly com-1
etitive, with sales made to mills on a
rice-cutting basis, although stocks of
001, especially of domesur prod lie
on, are being rapidly reduceil. In
le foreign' wool markets the situa
on is stronger than in the domestic
markets. Prices have been held up
ell in the London auctions. The

v the American Woolen Company
as a feature of the week. Staple
rices were marked downward some
hat. There wa< speculation as 10
hat this largest producer would
‘low in the way of attracting busi
rss, in addition to price attractions.
; is now assured that rayon is to be
3ed generally with wool as well as
>tton in fabrics offered for the
iring trade.
Grain prices tended downward
uring the past week, on the Gov
•nment figures showing an increased
isible supply for both Canada and
le United States and on other
kartell news. Wheat on Saturday
.as 12 and 14 cents under Tues
ly’s high. September corn broke to
cents, a new low on corn.
An Old Timer.
A stranger walking along the road,
-ftssed an old darkey. He began
liking with him and found out that
e had known George Washington.
“I suppose you remember when
ITashingtou crossed the Delaware?”
e asked.
Deed Boss, I steered dat boat,”
’OH the reply.
/‘And do you remember when he

“Deed I do,” the darkey replied,
case I drove dat hack myself.”

Toward Better Things And Times For Yourself - Or
Are You Satisfied With Your Own Little Niche?
/ * s easy to acquire the habit of sitting back and wishing you had one of those big enclosed \
/ cars you see rolling past home every minute of the day and evening—a car to fill with your fam- \
£ ily or friends and do some rolling of your own. When you stop to think of it you are in a rut at \
£ that stage of things. The realization of that fact is the first step toward getting out of it. Now, \
J£ not out of it in one of the big, powerful motor cars The Concord Tribune and Times
£/ will award to successful workers in their SIO,OOO automobile and cash campaign within a few
short weeks? There are four of these cars and thousands of dollars in cash which must be 9
awarded at the end of this campaign. You can be one of the winners if you will it so. Compe- £
tition is slight now. The contest is just starting to gather momentum. Get in now and see how £
\ simple it is to realize your ambitions. Many of you who read this have been considering partic- £
% ipating in this distribution of prizes. Act on your impulse today. Campaign headquarters is lo- /
\ Room 209 Cabarrus Savings Bank building. The mail address is Box 431, Concord /
\ The telephone number is 579. /
REMEMBER
THAT— The Biggest Prize, a twenty-one hunded dollar Buick Brougham, can be won in ANY
district.
THAT— Each and every district must win one of the cars and a comnlete set of cash prize? regard
less of their relative standing with other districts.
THAT Every active contestant wins something—either one of the major prizes or 10 per cent,
cash commission on every dollar they secure in subscriptions to the Tribune or Times.
THAT— AII prizes will be awarded by accredited votes, and that more votes are given NOW dur
ing the first period than will be given at any time during the remainder of the campaign.
There will positively be NO bonus votes given at any time during the election other than
originally outlined in the opening announcement.
*
Reduced Vote Schedule
Contrary to the plan usually followed The Tribune and Times plan calls for a reduction of votes
as the campaign progresses. In the campaign the last week is the least important because the sub
scriptions then count for so few votes. Live contestants who are on the job ought to cinch one of
the cars within the next few weeks before the vote schedule is cut. It can be done. Perhaps you
will do it.
Remember the standing published is always for votes received up to noon the day before the
date of publication.
Now if you’re “in” go to work. Win. If you are still “thinking” about entering—get in. You
can win.
THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
CAMPAIGN NOTES
Recent starters have proved the contention that
wide awake persons entering this campaign now
are under no material handicap. If you have been
watching the vote score column you can not help
but notice that new names are already steadily
climbing toward the peak. All that it takes is a
bit of that “go-get-them” spirit that will win in
any field of endeavor.
Take a look at District No. 2 and No. 3 partic
ularly and see the story told there. There must be
some of you rural people who have the desire to
claim that support of your section which is merely
waiting for someone to take advantage of it. We
know there are going to be regrets later. It is the
ones who look forward, and not backward, who will
win the big prizes in this competition.
Stop and figure that it is possible to make bet
ter than S2OO per week on the side, or $l7O a week,
or $l4O a week, or SIOO a week, or a sum for the
whole time of S2OO, or SIOO or a few dollars on a
10 per cent, cash commission basis. You win in ac
cordance with what you do. Nobody loses. Now,
is that fair? If you think it is then you should be in
on it. If you think it is not, then you should stay
out.
Wf venture to say that everyone in the county
knows that The Cabarrus County Fair is to be held
this year on October 13-17. You know it is the big
gest thing of its kind in the State of North Caro
lina.. You know you expect to gp at least one day
and hope to be there oftener. Here’s something you
don’t know yet. The Tribune and Times will have
on display at the fair the four automobiles which
are to be given away in this campaign for everyone
to see. Now don’t find yourself in a position of re
gretting that you are not working for one of them
when you see them. Instead be one of those who
will say, “There are the cars, one of which I am
working for and am going to win.’’. That is the
spirit that will accomplish things in this campaign.
Start now so that you will be one of the contenders
at fair time and see if you will be sorry.
The office of the campaign department will be
open until 9:00 each evening to issue supplies and
give information. Call in this evening and have it
all explained to you in detail.
