Others Have Been

Successful

WHY NOT

YOU?

A Kansas agent for the home workers' books has gone over the same territory for a number of years. She succeeded in placing books in certain homes over and over again. To one family she sold fourteen different volumes. Increasing success has been a marked feature of her work.
Another woman, feeble and 75 years of age, sold enough books in two days to earn a commission of $5.00 and reports two souls awaiting baptism as a direct result of her work.
A girl in Oregon earned an academy scholarship in a short time by selling these small books.

NEED

Criminality, in many instances, has been traced to the reading of pernicious papers and books. Conscientious parents, especially, realize more than ever before the importance of placing wholesome, instructive, and interesting reading in the hands of their children. Better books for this purpose than the 40% books, are hard to find.

HOLIDAY GIFTS

People will lend a listening ear now to any one calling on them with any suitable thing for holiday gifts. It is a great problem with many, to know what to get for a boy, a girl, a young person — in fact, for any one. No mistake is made when they settle on these books. They meet the need of every member of the family, and good books, you know, are always most acceptable. Of the sixteen carried this year, about a dozen are for children especially. Retail prices range from 50c to $1.50.

AGENTS WANTED

While more than a thousand persons are already selling these books, there is still plenty of room for others. If you can not devote all your time to them, perhaps you can work an hour or two a day — a few hours a week.
November and December are the harvest season months for these 40% books. It will be well worth your while to spend a little time in active work just now.
The only cost to you in getting started will be the price of the prospectus, which contains all the covers, and sample pages from each of the sixteen books. This is $1.00. It is substantially made, and can be used for several seasons.
40% commission is allowed on all sales.
