The
New 1962 Dodge Dart Sedan
And $1,000 In Cash Awards
Are Offered Local Residents
The Cherokee Scout and City County Progress axlay anno iwces i gigantic "Campaign of
Progreaa" aufaacrlptlan drive in which a new 1962 Dodge Dart 2-Door Sedan and hiatdreds of
dollars In cash swards atd commissions will be dlstrlbmed In a comprehensive drive for
Increased circulation of The Scout.
Complete details of the "Campaign of Progress" plana appear In a two-page advertisement In
Ms Issue. The list consists of extremely Interesting awards
t> be given energetic persona taking part In the campaign. ??????
The object of the campaign la to Increase further The
Cherokee Scout's growing subecriptlon list. The newspaper
will not be content with anything leas than complexly "blanket
ing" the entire field, with The Cherokee Scout In every home in
the area.
A total of about $4,500 will be distributed, the 1962 Dodge
Dart 2-door Sedan as theflrstswardandothar cash awards and
estimated cash commissions to ths campaign workers In
cluding $500 In cash as second award, $250 In cash as third
award and smaller awards to others. Those who do not win one
of the regular awards will be paid cash commissions of
20 per cent of money collected and turned In by them, according
the rules of the campaign .
The fact that ths campaign will last for only a few weeks
makes the proposition appeal to energetic campaign workers sad
the race promises a> be snappy and Interesting from start
to finish.
Votes and credits, according a> the announcements, scale, trill
be given upon each subscription and at the end of the campaign
persons with the greatest number of votes will receive the
highest awards. It is a free-for-all campaign, with no entry
fees no handicaps.
This campaign is open to tndfrfduals only. All subecriptlon
selling will be confined to persons who enter the campaign
and thalr friends or relatives who wish n assist them. Any
former agreements between the Cherokee Scout andanygroigte
clubs or individuals for selling suuecrlpaons ere rescinded
for the duration at the campaign. Rural correspondents for
The Scout and Progress are eligible p take part In dm
campaign, and are lnvltad m do so.
The plan adopted by The Cherokee Sceut Is a novel one. It
could reach thousands of new readers by employing scorns
of solicitors to cover this section, but It would take a long
time to do the work thoroughly. In Inaugurating dm "Campaign
of Progress," this imwep^er has adopted a better and quicker
method. The plan gives friends and raadara an oppornadty
to earn bfg awards during spare time.
An especially attractive feature of dm campaign la that all
will be paid handaomely for the results they secure. A cash
commission of 20 percmnt will be paid id those who do not
win one of the regular awards. Thus dm scamp algn la a sure
thing from the beginning. The reward depends entirely on the
effort put forth and dm results obtained.
In offering such valuable awarda to those who take an active
Interest, The Scout Is not playing dm part of a philanthropist.
INafther- la It a so me thing-for-nothing schema. Itls a business
proposition. The awards will ha glvun In arching, for a well
directed effort on dm part of the contestants and thalr value
assures everyone that his or bar efforts will bear fruit m dm
fullest extent.
In everyone's life there Is one bfg moment when he makes
the decision that robs him of succes or lends him to fortune.
The world Is full of those who yearn for bettor things that
never come. Ths action Is missing, but let them see and grasp
dm opportunity and there will be an tmtring transformation In
their for
The main thing Is an early start In ths campaign. It meats
everything to thooe who have amhlttoa end a desire to succeed,
so the first and best thing to do Is m enroll your name at once
aid then get out among your friends mid acquaintances and
mil them you want thalr subscription or renewal to The
Cherokee Scout. Campaign headquarters ate located at The
Cherokee Scout office. Call aroimd and meet dm managers of
this busy organization. All Informstioa concerning the "Cam
paign of Progress" will be cheerfully given and suggestions
mads relative to outlining and planning successful work.
