The 



Elizabeth Shippen 

 Plan 



One of our circulation men made 

 the statement that we were just a 

 little selfish in not giving the young 

 women the same opportunity we 

 were extending to the young men 

 in our offers of "Liberal Commis- 

 sions to the young men who success- 

 fully introduce COUNTRY Life IN 

 America, The World's Work and 

 The Garden Magazine to their 

 friends." 



We told this young man we didn't think 

 the gentle sex could do it as well — not that 

 we doubted their ability to do almost anything 

 men can do, but it seemed like man's work, 

 and we therefore couldn't cometo an agreement 

 with our colleague. Not the least discouraged, 

 however, he tried out his theory in Pennsyl- 

 vania, and in the Keystone state he met a 

 young lady who thought the plan a good one. 

 She went into it actively and with a great 

 deal of enthusiasm, and in a month or so of 

 spare-time work she secured enough subscrip- 

 tions to our magazine to net her over one 

 hundred dollars in profit and salary. Of course, 

 we bowed our heads in frank admission that 

 the idea was a good one, and since that time 

 we have extended it generally with good results. 



We offer you the same kind of an oppor- 

 tunity we gave this young woman, and we will 

 pay you well in commissions for your time. You 

 have many friends who do not read our maga- 

 zines and by simply introducing the subject 

 during the afternoon call or at other opportune 

 times, subscriptions can be obtained without any 

 difficulty. 



If you are interested, write to our circulation depart- 

 ment and they will tell you how this Pennsylvania girl 

 did it, and how you can work out the same plan 

 right in your oivn community. Merely ask for the 

 "Elizabeth Shippen Plan."

 change of direction of the 

 water in passing thru the 

 pump, and the entire 

 mechanical efficiency con- 

 tributes directly to the

give a finishing touch to any occasion where they i 

 served, whether for tea, at luncheon or with the 

 ^ after-dinner coffee. 



We want you to realize how far superior Educator 

 Crackers are over other kinds, and in order that you may 

 prove this to yourself and every member of your family, if 

 you will forward us your name and address (and if conven- 

 ient, the name of your grocer), we will send you 



Assorted Box Free and Postpaid 



There is quite a variety of Educator Crackers, 

 the most popular kinds are packed in the box we ■ 

 send you. The Educator Wafer, a crisp, thin ent 

 wheat, water cracker, is unequaled when served wit 

 tea and ices. And the Educator Toasterette, the 

 only cracker of its kind made — is toasted, buttered 

 and salted. Its flavor is distinctive. 



After you and all your family have tried the Educator 

 Crackers contained in this sample box, order the 

 you like best from your grocer. If he hasn't 

 and -won't get them for you, order from us direct.
