salesmanship ability in selling the

for this salesmanship service, the
Chronicle will pay liberally accord
ing to the terms outlined in Another
column on this page.
We believe the Chronicle to be the
best weekly newspaper in Montana
and for that reason we feel sure that
a corps erf salesmen will have no dif
ficulty in selling it to the people of
this county. To secure the desired
circulation, the Chronicle is not go
ing to stage a subscription or popular
ity contest, but is merely offering to
pay for salesmanship, service and to |
pay most liberally.
One of the worthwhile features of j
the prize awards for this work, is j
the fact that there will be no losers,
I
as a cash commission will be paid to
all active participants who fail to :
receive one of the major awards. The
commission alone will amply repay
the salesmen for their work.
This salesmanship campaign is thre
fold in its scope and purpose. First
it will advertise this newspaper and
place it in every home in the county,
it will provide the people of Car
bon County with a simple method
of securing the publication and it
will afford our friends and readers
