The Plan in Brief:
The Richmond Virginian will award 12,000 CASH in addition to
10% commission on all subscription* secured in a gigantic subscrip
tion campaign. The plan adopted is the fairest and most impartial
conceivable and affords every one an opportunity to earn money
without an element of chance. It invites legitimate competitive
work on a basis, where personal effort and peraervance will be liber
ally awarded.
The basin idea of the contest is, of course, the securing of subscrip
tions to The Richmond Virginian.
$2,000 in cash, in addition to 10% on a& subscriptions secured, will
be awarded to the popular workers who secure the largest number of
credits to be issued by The Richmond Virginian for paid-in-advance
subscriptions and for coupons clippped each day from The Richmond
Virginian.
10% Commission will be allowed mi all subscriptions secured by
contestants, enabling every one who enters the contest to receive a
substantial cash award.
