THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY. DECEMBER 9. 5 Musical Scholarships t WHY WE DO THIS. A newspaper with a subscription list the size of The Georgian and News spend* a great deal of time and money each year collecting and re newing Its subscriptions. Experience has shown that tlie use of special prises and the employment of experts to do this work are a wise Investment from a business standpoint. We simply contract with an expert who knows the management of these things as the engineer knows his engine. We have arranged a special ofllce In The Georgian building. 25 West Alabama street. In which to conduct the work; a. large force of assist ants 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. We do not try to get circulation much outside of Georglu. We are mnklng It a home paper. This opportunity is superior to most similar ones given here before, because the wealth of prises which have seldom been equaled are to be dfvldd to Atlanta and Gorggla alone. 1 As we have told our readers, the advertiser, who pays three times as much toward the expense of newspapers as the reader pays, needs Inrge circulations 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 ex pect to add from five 'to ten thousand more before this contest ends in February. These so-called prises are genuine and will be exhibited In prominent places. The Georgian does not simply give them away— for we get much In return—but the one who wins a prise need make no outlay, but simply ask her friends to take The Georgian and use the votes this gives for her benefit. At Klind worth Conservatory of Music to be given away in The Geor gian’s Subscription Contest—two of these are regular $108.00 Schol arships, three of them $65.00 Scholarships—-they all run 36 weeks— the difference being in the instructions. There are 94 Prizes to be given away—among which are $1,000 in Gold; one $2,000 Automobile, one $650 Runabout, twenty trips to Cuba, twenty Dixie Business College Scholarships—stenographic or commercial—five Musical Scholarships at Klindworth Conservatory of Music, covering 36 weeks, five complete Scholarships in Cox College, College Park, fifteen Solitaire Diamonds, to be seen at Schaull & May’s, and fifteen Gold Watches, to be seen at Crankshaw’s, ten Kingsbury Upright Pianos, $350 each, from Cable Piano Co., and one Grand Piano.
