ET’S have a little chat about getting ahead—you and I. My name is Pelton. Lots of people call me “The , Man Who Makes Men Rich.” I don’t deny it. I’ve done it for thousands of people— lifted them up from poverty to riches. I’m no genius—far from it. .I’m just a plain, everyday, unassuming sort of man. I know what' poverty is. I’ve looked black’ despair in the eye—had failure stalk me around and hoodoo everything I did. I’ve known the bitterest kind of want. ° But to-day all is different. I have money and all of the things that Money will buy. I am rich also in the things that money won’t buy—health, happiness and friendship. Few people have more of the” messes of the _ world than I. It was a simple thing that iianed me up from poverty to riches. As I’ve said, I’m no genius. But I had the good fortune to know a genius. One day this man told me a “‘secret.”, It had to do with getting ahead and growing rich. He had used it himself - with remarkable results. He said that every wealthy man knew this “secret,’—that is why he was rich. I used the “secret.” It surely had a good test. At that time I was flat broke.

Things I couldn’t do before be- came as easy for me to do as opening a door. ' My business boomed and continued to leap ahead at a rate that startled me. Prosperity became my partner. Since that day [ve never known what it is to want for money, friendship, happiness, health or any of the ' good things of life. That “secret” surely made me rich in every sense of the word. My sudden rise to riches naturally sur- prised others. One by one people came to me and asked me how I did it. I told them. And it worked for them as well as it did for me. Some of the things this ‘‘secret”’ has done for people are astounding. I would hardly believe them if I hadn’t seen them with my owneyes. Adding ten, twenty, thirty or forty dollars a week to a man’s income is a mere nothing. That’s merely playing at it. In “one case I took a rank failure and in a few weeks had him earning as high as $2, 000.00 a week. Listen to this: A young man in the East had an article for which there was a nation-wide demand.
