GOOD BUSINESS AHEAD 
with slight changes in the present system. The present system. 
What is it? One prey on another. I cheat you and you cheat me— 
if you can get by with it. A fine system. No? Is there a better 
system? There is! 
All that is needed to make the present system a human system is 
to place personal character above money and to adopt a few other 
slight changes. 
That done, everyone would try to outdo the other in honesty, 
learning, agreeable manners and dollars would become the second 
fiddle. 
Honest people would rule and the crooks would be made to work. 
We are not condemning the capitalistic system. Under it, mankind 
made an immense progress. The system forced the people to exert 
themselves to the utmost. That does not work any more, we all 
can see that. 
We have too much of everything, yet millions are unable to make 
a bare living. That a change is needed we all know. Very few do 
know how easy It is to make a few slight changes to bring about 
prosperity for all. 
A man, a great man wrote a book in which he explains how, by 
adopting a few slight changes in the present economic system ALL 
of us would benefit immensely. His book tells the truth. Your daily 
papers will not tell you the truth. You should, you MUST know 
the truth. Here is your chance to learn the TRUTH and the facts 
as to why the depression is on and how to almost instantly, sweep 
the depression out of the way. Read W. H. Harvey’s “The Book” a 
book of 224 pages costing only 25 cents, postpaid, which you can get 
from Mundus Publishing Co., Monte Ne, Arkansas, or from us.
