Do You Want a Business 

 of Your Own? 



The desire of most every man and of every woman 

 who earn their living is to have a business of his 

 or her own. 



Doesn't this idea appeal to you? Are you not 

 interested in the freedom attached to being your 

 own "boss" and knowing that all of the energy you 

 put in the work is for yourself and the greater 

 enthusiasm you have the sooner you enjoy a hand- 

 some income? 



We will give you the opportunity now to start your 

 permanent business and to safeguard yourself 

 against the unfortunate circumstances of so many 

 who in their declining years are dependent on the 

 generosity of someone for a living. 



We have opened the door of success for a great 

 number of men and women who are PROSPER- 

 OUS, and we will show you how to lay the founda- 

 tion for an assured future. 



If you are not satisfied with your income — WRITE 

 US NOW.
