The Temple Daily Telegram now has its big new Forty Thousand Dollar plant in operation, which enables us to supply a large portion 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 offer some extraordinary inducements.
To those who will help us get the Daily Telegram more thoroughly 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 modeljuitomobils, three Fine New Pianos, three Valuable Temple Residence Building 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 cadi commission to all those who enter the contest and secure subscribers for The Daily Telegram and do not win a prize.
