An Encouraging Report

By C. F. Dart

THREE fourths of South Carolina has never been canvassed for any of our books. It is a good field, has a mild climate, and is just the place where you can let your light shine. I am having good success. I have no trouble in getting a hearing. About three out of four families that I visit subscribe. I never was treated better in my life. They are kind and hospitable.
The time I have put in has been limited, but the profits on orders were about seventy-five cents an hour; or, after counting out time for delivering and for lost orders, about forty-five cents an hour. A brother working with me is supporting a family of seven. He is a new hand at the business, yet he never enjoyed work any better in his life.
I am handling “Coming King,” and “Gospel Primer,” just the books adapted to the needs of the people. They are all well pleased with them. Many say they wouldn’t take five dollars for the “Coming King.”
We greatly need laborers. There is plenty of room for all those who desire to come. I shall be glad to correspond with all who are thinking of coming here to canvass. My post-office address is Gaffney, S. C.
