IN CASH TO BE GIVEN AWAY
The Richmond Virginian, Virginia’s new daily State paper, has reached on its merits in a few months a foremost position in Richmond

iberally all who help to accomplish the result.

The Plan in Brief:

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 perservance will be liber
ally awarded. .

credits to be issued by The Richmond Virginian for paid-in-advance
