This is a call for men everywhere to handle exclusive agency for one of the most unique business inventions of the day. Forty years ago the horse and buggy business was supreme—today almost extinct. Twenty years ago the phonograph industry ran into many millions—today ag y ‘a relic. Only a comparatively few foresighted men saw the fortunes ahead in the automobile and the radio. Yet irresistible waves of public buying swept these men to fortune, and sent the buggy and the phonograph into the discard. So are great successes made by men able to detect the shift in public favor from one industry to another. Now another és lace, Ao old established ind integral and important part of the nation’s arsenic in which millions of Sellars chien bande in thousands of cases being replaced by a 7, astonishing, simple inven- tion which does the work betrer—more reliabl AT A COST OFTEN AS LOW AS 2% OF WHAT IS ORDINARILY PAID! It has not required very long for men who have taken over the rights to this valuable invention to do a remarkable business, aod show earnings which in these times are almost uaheard of for the average man. Not a“‘*Gadget”— Not a “‘Knick-Knack"’— but a valuable, proved device which has been sold successfully by busi- ness novices as well as seaso veterans. Make no mistake—this is no novelry—no flimsy creation which the inventor hopes to put on the marker, You bly have seen nothing like it yet—perhaps never sms of the existence of such a device—yet it as claonly been used by ions of outstandio i share.

Not only on the first order—but on EARNINGS One man in California earned over $1,600 per month for three months—close to $5,000 in 90 days’ time. Another writes from Delaware—"Since I have been operating (just a little less than a month of actual selling) and not the full day at that, because I have been getting organized and had to spend at least half the day in the office; counting what I have sold outright and on trial, I have made just a little in excess of one thousand dollars for one month.”’ A Connecticut man writes he has $55.00 in a single day's time. Texas man nets over $300 in less than a week's time. Space does not per- mit mentioning here more than these few random cases. How- ever, they are.sufficient to indicate that the worthwhile future in this business is coupled with immediate earnings for the right kind of man.
