How A. D. Blocher 



MADE $750.00 IN TWO MONTHS 



WORKING FOR US 



A. D. Blocher of Davison, Mich., is a 

 farmer. He believes in turning his spare 

 time into money. He read the advertise- 

 ments of the Co-operative Society of the 

 National Supply Co., and was convinced 

 that the Society was a good thing for 

 himself and his friends. He believed in 

 co-operation, and he saw that here was a 

 Society which offered something tangible, 

 safe and profitable, in that line. He wrote 

 us and later joined the Society, became 

 an active, enthusiastic worker, solicited 

 his neighbors to join, distributed several 

 hundred of our catalogues among them, 

 and induced a great many of them to be- 

 come members. His compensation for 

 distributing the catalogues; the member- 

 ship fees on the persons he induced to join 

 the Society, and commissions on the goods 

 purchased by them paid him the hand- 

 some reward of $754.20— all done in his

spare time, and every member thanked 

 him for getting them to join the Society. 

 What Mr. Blocher did you can do. Hun- 

 dreds of others — men and women — have 

 done nearly as well and are doing it today. 

 Write us and we will explain it all. We 

 will show you just how and why you can 

 do as well or better. This is the oppor- 

 tunity of a lifetime and will only cost you 

 the effort of writing us a postal card to 

 learn all about it; and it will mean very 

 little work on your part to make big 

 money. Besides we will show you how 

 you will profit by your membership in this 

 Society every year as long as you live. 

 Mr. Biocher made $754.20 in two months, 

 but that was not all the benefits he re- 

 ceived — his membership made him a 

 partner in a business that is saving him 

 severalhundred dollars every year. Write 

 us a postal for full particulars. Do it now. 



How You Can Save 10 to 20 Per Cent on Everything You Buy 



To save 10 per cent to 20 per cent on the cost of your supplies, join the 

 Co-operative Society of the National Supply Co. and buy every- 

 thing you need to eat. wear or use on the farm or in the home, from 

 the Society and you will save from $10 to $20 on every hundred dol- 

 lars you spend for merchandise. The National Supply Co., of Lansing, 

 Mich., and Chicago, 111., is one of the largest mail order houses in the 

 world— its prices published in plain figures in its large, free 1,000 

 page catalogue are as low and on many articles a great deal lower than 

 any other mail order concern. Anybody can buy anything from them 

 and save money by doing it. Members ot the Co-operative Society 

 get a special discount of 10 percent from the list on everything they buy 

 through the Society, which in the course of a year means a saving to 

 members of many hundreds of dollars. The average farmer can save 

 from $100 to $250 a year on his supplies— all on an Investment of 

 hut Sin for a fully paid up, non-assessable Life Membership in this 



Society. Can you invest $10.00 in any other way that will bring you 

 even one-tenth the income that this will? Can yon buy your sup- 

 plies as cheaply any other way? Co-operation alone makes such a 

 thing possible. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose by 

 becoming a member. If you join the Co-operative Society of the 

 National Supply Co., and your savings in discounts on pur- 

 chases should not amount to $10 during the year and you wish to with- 

 draw, we will redeem your Membership Certificate by paying you back 

 the difference between the amount of the discounts youbave received 

 and the $10 membership fee, together with 6 per cent interest on the 

 amount so paid back. Isn't this a fair offer, and doesn't it take away 

 all risk from you? No other co-operative society ever made such a broad 

 offer before. We Invite you to join and we make it easy and absolutely 

 safe for you to do so. Write today for particulars and full explanation 

 of how this Society is able to make these extraordinary offers.
