NOT A “SOMETHING FOR NOTHING”
In announcing this contest, Tho Progress did not expect “something
for nothing” but oilers liberal inducements for ANY PERSON’S
TIME during the next few weeks,'ending June 3()th. Old subscribers
enn pay up—and that counts votes, and with the list of present sub
scribers now taking the Progress to solicit from for renewals and itrreai-
ages, not to mention the hundreds of new subscribers that enn be se
cured, any hustler can easily win this Ford 5-Passengcr Auto, or othei
big prize, and the fact that every candidate that competes to the finish,
does not win a prize, and turns in even as little as 823 in cash subscrip
tion business, Gp;TS A CASH COMMISSIONS, means that A1J
GET SOMETHING for their work. This “No Losers” plan immedi
ately places the Progress’ Contest in great favor among the people, foi
you arc laboring under no “guesswork”, taking part in no “gambling
scheme”, playing no haphazard “chance”—Jor each worker knows JUS!
