A Promising Field

By T. H. Jeys

FREQUENTLY I receive letters asking questions with reference to the canvassing work in North Carolina. I am very glad to answer all such inquiries; and that still others may be stirred to desire a part with us, I write this general information. I regard our field here in North Carolina as in every way an excellent one. People will buy our books if we will carry them into their presence and properly represent them. To be sure, not every one buys, but that is so everywhere.

In glancing over the record of our State agent, I observe that the average hourly sales amount to fifty-eight cents. There is plenty of unworked territory. The field is white to the harvest. To those who think of coming here from the north, I will say that the winters are mild, and the summers are no warmer than in Iowa or Illinois. The water is soft and excellent. The people are kind, polite, and hospitable. There are precious jewels scattered all about in these cities and villages and country places.

Brother H. B. Tilden, of Winston, is our State canvassing agent. He will do all in his power to properly locate those who come to our conference to canvass, and will extend every possible aid. “Come . . . and help us.”

T. H. Jeys.
