ADVENTURE Can You Use More Money? “Mary and I had been trying to get along ona $1,500-a-year income. Finally, the day arrived when, after a siege of increases in rent, food, cloth- ing, etc., our small savings had been completely used up and we were indeed gloomy about the future. Mary remarked: ‘We ought to do something, Jim!’ “It wasn’t much but it surely did ‘strike home,’ for I knew she was right. I determined then and there not to have her feel that way again. **First of all I analyzed my problem. At the bottom it was simply that of having my income meet all demands placed upon it—not only current ex- penses, but to have enough left over for those little luxuries which are so necessary and, in addition, save for afhome of our own—those things we had longed for. **After I had come to this conclusion and looked for a way out for about an hour, I happened to pick up a copy of ADVENTURE to see if I could tem- porarily relieve my mind of trouble and care. In paging through its contents, I came across an adver- tisement with the headline: Sell Us Your Spare Time That was it! I had plenty of spare time. You may be sure I| read that ad through from beginning toend. It was sur- prising. It told me briefly how I could make all the money I wanted in my spare time by simply accepting subscriptions from my friends and acquaintances for ADVENTURE, THE DELINEATOR, THE DESIGNER and EVERYBODY'S MAGAZINE. No capital, no experience was necessary. I jumped at the opportunity, clipped out the coupon which would bring me all particulars and a complete re presentative’s outfit, filled in my mame and address, inserted “\ it in an envelope and ran down to the mail-box to get it off at once, forgetting in my excitement all about a Ne hat and coat. x ‘Mary met me at the door on my return, ‘What is the matter?’ she exclaimed, “Are you crazy?’ I took both “\ of a Bangs in ne and, more to cheer her ae than anything else, I said, ‘Mary.
