Improving One’s Talent

By A. J. S. B.

THE following communication clearly shows the increasing success that attends many of our faithful magazine agents who at first do not make very large sales:—
“Your setting my task at 500 copies a month just about took my breath, for only a short time ago I thought I could not sell any at all. Two to five copies a day was the best I could possibly do; but I sold my 92 copies of the July number, and ran out before the month was past. I can now average ten copies a day throughout the month. That is 250 copies, or one half your allotment. I may yet do as well as you suggest. Please send me 100 more copies, quick, with canvass, and 25 copies of the Temperance Instructor, also with canvass. I sell some copies of Life and Health to news-dealers, and often ten or more copies of the Temperance Instructor to persons who buy them to give to others.”
“Learning by doing,” is the best way to learn in the school of life. Talents which are used never grow rusty, and experience always discounts long-distance instruction.
