Salesmanship Campaign This liberal offer includes besides the a> wards, CASH COMMISSIONS and is open to both men and women. THIS TELLS THE STORY First Grand Award GW AWARDS WILL BE MADE The purpose of the "Salesmanship Campaign" is two-fold. FIRST: To arouse a keener interest in good clean salesmanship. SECOND: To increase the circulation of the Carbon County Chronicle by recruiting from those living in this county the salesmen needed to secure a large ubscription for the paper quickly. To make it worth most anyone's -while to take part in this intefesting campaign this paper is offering approximately two Thousand Dollars in awards. ' ■' This liberal offer is open to both men and women. It costs nothing to enter and wwrybody who takes an active interest is sure to be handsomely ■rewarded. The awards are made according to the subscription credits obtained by the candidates competing. These credits are gien on subscription payments received from new readers of the paper as shown in the schedule which tells how subscriptions count. Credits, cannot be purchased and are not trans ferable from one candidate to another. ■ Any man or woman (except employes of the Chronicle or members of I their immediate families) married or single, young or old, may compete. Those who wish to enter the campaign may nominate themselves. The entry blank will act as a selfstarter and is good for 5000 credits. Canidates may obtain subscriptions anywhere irrespective of district and credits will be allowed on all subscription payments from 12 to 96 months. The list of candidates and the standing of each, will appear in the Chroni cle from time to time so that the friends interested may note the progress of those competing. A credit certificate will be issued for each subscription received and these ballots or credits will be published to the standing of the canidates at the discretion of the sales manager.The campaign starts at once and closes July 2, 1924. Every candidate is assured a square deal as ABSOLUTE FAIRNESS is the key-note of the "Salesmanship Campaign." The candidate obtaining the largest number of subscription credits will be given the first grand award—The Gardner Tourdeluxe Automobile. The candidate obtaining the second largest number of subscription credits will be given the $200.00 Diamond Ring. The candidate obtaining the third largest number of subscription credits wdll be given the $110.00 Victrola. After the winners of the three capi tal awards have been eliminated from the competition each candidate with the largest number of credits in each one of the three sections will be given a $50.00 Merchandise award. Every active candidate who does not win one of the other valuable awards will be paid a cash commission of 10 per cent on every dollar he or she collects on subscriptions to the paper. An active candidate will be defined as one that turns in at least two subscriptions during the last week of the campaign. HOW SUBSCRIPTIONS COUNT THE CARBON COUNTY CHRONICLE Price Credits Subscription 12 Months ?4 Months 43 Months 96 Months In addition to the regular number of credits on subscriptions as shown above there will be special credits during three periods of the campaign. First period—From the beginning of the campaign, May 8 to May 31 in clusive, each $ü0 worth of subscriptions will count for 40,000 extra credits— each dollar over $20 will count in proportion.

Third and final period—June 26 to July 2 inclusive subscrip tions will count double, less 20 per cent of the extra credits. $ 2.50 2,000 5,000 12,000 30,000 6.00 Gardner Tourdeluxe 1Ö700 20.00 With Ballon Tires The Automobile pictured here has been selected as the last word in appearence and real riding comfort and is worth every dollar of its cost $1265.00. It wos pur chased of H. P. Sandels, the Red Lodge dealer. A few points descriptive of its merits follow: The Tourdeluxe is in Crane-Simplex body color, with a stripe to harmonize extending around the body line and a small pencil stripe in the louvres of the hood. This color is not only attractive but is practicable and serviceable. Mud, dirt, grease, water, summer heat or zero temperature has very little or no effect on it and when washing or cleaning is necessary a bath in water and a rubdown with a chamois and a rag will restore the oiginal finish. The equipment, too, is complete. With gas and oil the car is ready for the road. This equippment includes a double barred Stewart front bumper, a spare tire, tube and cover, nickel cowl lamps, nickel radiator, aluminum trunk rails, aluminum step and scuff plates and a nickel water and heat indicator. With balloon tires; the ap pearance is striking. This type of tire, too, has a marked effect on the riding qualities and cushions the car to such an extent that the life of it is considerably lengthened. This balloon tire equipment consists of a set of five 31x6Vi full Balloon tires—four 21-inch Tuarc steel wheels, Ross steering geer and an 18-inch steering wheel. The winner of this grand award will be very fortunate indeed—will need to offer no excuse in any way.
