WHY WE DO THIS ' V ■ Jjlgpli
A newspaper with a subscription list the size of the Georgian spends a great deal of time and money each year collecting and renewing their
subscription.. Experience has shown that the use of special prizes and the employment of experts to do this work is a wise investment from a busi
ness standpoint. We simply contract with an expert who knows the management of these things as the engineer knows his engine. We have
taken a special office in the Austell Building in which to conduct the work, and a large force of assistants will conduct the contest and personally
visit almost every home in Georgia. The Georgian and News is mainly a Georgia paper—it goes some to other states but not nearly so much as
other papers do. Wh do not try to get circulation much outside of Georgia. We are making it a home paper. This opportunity is superior to most
similar ones given here before because the wealth of prizes which have seldom been equalled are to be divided to Atlanta and Georgia alone.
As we have told our readers, the advertiser, who pays 3 times as much toward the expense of newspapers than the reader pays, needs large circu
lations to bring him customers. So newspapers can afford to give these inducements from time to time for the benefits they bring their advertisers.
The Georgian is going to 30,000 homes now, and we expect to add from five to ten thousand more before this contest ends in February. These so-
called piizes aie genuine and will be exhibited in prominent places soon. The Georgian does not simply give them away-—for we get much in return
—but the one who wins the prize need make no outlay but simply ask her friends to take the Georgian and use the votes this gives for her benefit
THE PLAN IN BRIEF
The winner, of these prizes will be decided by popular vote of Geprfflan
and News readers and friends of contestants. Votes are secured oir all cash
in advance subscriptions to The Georgian and News from one month up, and
coupons may be clipped from each copy of the paper. One hundred votes are
allowed on a new subscription for one month to The Georgian and News,
and 2,400 votes for a new yearly subscription to The Georgian and News,
Votes nre allowed on both old and new subscrlptlShs, but only half as many
