The Temple Daily Telegram now has its big new Forty Thousand
Dollar plant in operation, which enables us to supply a large por-
tion of Central and Western Texas early each morning with the
best daily newspaper in the state at the low subscription price
charged. We now desire to thoroughly cover this big territory
with the least possible loss of time. It is going to require many
solicitors to do this work, and to get them we have decided to of-
fer some extraordinary inducements.
To those who will help us get the Daily Telegram more thor-
oughly introduced during the next eight weeks, we will give a list
of prizes, valued at more than FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
These prizes include two handsome new five-passenger 1914
model automobiles, Three Fine New Pianos, Three Valuable Tem-
ple Residence Ruilding Lots, Three Handsome Diamonds (value
$100 each), Three Scholarships, Three Cash Bank Accounts, Three
Solid Gold Watches—with other prizes to be added from time to
time.
In addition to the Prizes to be awarded, we will pay a regular
cash commission to all those who enter the contest and secure
subscribers for the Daily Telegram and do not win a prize.
