GIVEN TO SUBSCRIBERS BY THE GEORGIAN AND NEWS. J
WHY WE DO THIS
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
subscriptions. 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 Bldg, Room 321, in which to conduct the work; 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 somd to other states but not nearly so much as
other papers do. We 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 circtf- j
lations to bring him customers. • So newspapers can afford to give these inducements from tinle to time for the benefits they bring their advertisers.
The Georgian is going to 30,000 liomes now, and we-expect to add from five to ten thousand more before this contest ends in February. These so-
called prizes are genuine and will be exhibited in prominent places soo^i. 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 winners of these prises will be decided by popular vot. of Georgian
and News readers and friends of contestant,. Votes are secured on 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 ore
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 are,allowed on both old and new subscriptions; but only half as many
ballots are Issued on old subscriptions as new ones; Old subscribers Include
all whose names were on our books at the time the contest was announced.
The coupons published dally In this paper will be good for five votes the' first
weeks, and one vote the remaining weeks of the contest
Paid In adance subscriptions monthly or longer should be sent direct to
the office of The.Georgian and News, and upon receipt of remittance, bal
lots will be Issued. The paper will be delivered by carrier, mall or- dealer
at option of Georgian Co. ‘Votes will not,be Issued on receipts unless bal
lots are asked for at the time payment'!, made.
Any one may vote In this contest who desires to do so, using' for the
purpose of voting the ballots secured on paid In advance subscriptions to The

.There are thirty districts In this contest. The woman securing the
highest number of yotes In each of the thirty districts after the capital prises
have been awarded will receive one of the pianos or one of the trips to Cuba.
The second In each of the districts will receive a scholarship and the third
In each district will receive one of the rings or watches, as the case may be.
Each district 1s separate In. Itself and will have absolutely no bearing
on any other district. Every one of the districts Is certain of three prlxea
So that there Is lure to be three winners from each of the districts. It should
be borne In mind that the candidate leading the contest In each of the dis
tricts at the end of the contest will be sure to win either a piano, a trip or
one of the capital prixes. However, no one can win more than one prize.
The grand prises are. the 21,000 In cash, the touring car, the runabout
and the Grand piano. The grand capital prizes will be awarded as follows:
The candidate receiving the highest number of votes in the entire contest
regardless of district limitations will be given the choice of the capital
prixes and the candidate standing second highest In the contest regardless
of districts will received second choice, and so on, until the entire four cap
ital prizes have been awarded. However, In order to give the ladles out
side of Atlanta the same opportunity as the ladles of Atlanta have, we
are going to reserve one of the capital prizes for them, so that it the Drat
three highest are from Atlanta, the fourth capital prise will be awarded
the candidate standing highest In the districts outside of Atlanta. If there
Is anything about this that you do not thoroughly understand, write the
contest manager or call upon, him at any time at hie office, 321 Austell
