CAMPAIGNS OF THIS NATURE
GIVE PRIZES FOR EARNED
VOTES OBTAINED BY SUB
SCRIPTION SALES
By simply checking over the list
' of active workers in the Dispatch
Christmas Gift Campaign that ap-;
peared in last night’s paper one can'
readily see that there are more
prizes to be distributed than workers
to take them. The campaign mana
gor would be only too glad to prove
to any interested person that so littlel
has been done that every inactive‘
candidate should start working now,
and that anyone thinking of enter‘
ing the campaign will have very little
to overcome, thus putting them on
equal footing with those who enter
ed the campaign last week, 'l‘hm'oi
are nearly three weeks remaining in}
the First Vote Period, the highest of
the campaign, and the work done ir
those three weeks are vital to the
success of any candidate.
The part that luck plays is indeed
a negligible one, for hard work alone
is the dominating factor and key to
ownership of the hig prizes.
Although the campaign manager
has been careful to explain to thel
candidates the “why and the where
fore” of Free Vote Coupons still, it
appears that there are some who
are deluded into believing that these
TFree votes might help them win a
prize. Simple business intelligence
should dispél this idea. Never, in a
campaign, similar to that being cnn-‘
lduvtnd by The Dispatch, have free
coupon votes, ever won a prize or
even heen permitted to allow a cand
idate win a Dbigger prize. They
would never be of the slighest help
in getting any cash commission since
no money is turned in with them.
‘ Prizes are won only by the earned
i votes that accrue from obtaining sub
‘svriptiuns and no other way.
l The Dispatch Campaign is simply
a circulation arive, over a specific
period, in which a¢ many men and
women as care to do so, joip the
IH([]('H force of the paper with the
knowledge that a certain numher of
exceedingly valuable prizes have
been set aside for those who excel
the others, and in the event they do
not win a prize they are guaran
| teed ten per cent in cash of the sub
geription money they turn in.
The Campaign .“\lunugul'. is the
sales manager and each and every
| candidate is for the period of the
campaign a honafide sales agent of
the Dispatch. It is not a question of
“You may be a lucky one,” for as
said before, this is not a luck pro
position, but it iy a fact that “You
| can be a winner,” without a cent of
cost to you, of any one of Three
Valuable Automobiles on Dec. 24th,
due to the effort you put forth dur
ing the next six weeks and aided by
the friends who wish you well in
your business undertaking.
