the blank before the word dozen. 1t is
very simple. Just an order for dozen
books on commission.
''But the skill is required in handling
that blank. There is never any hurry
ing. 1t takes time. The assistant, who
keeps in the background, usually brings
in a word just at the right time. He
may say, for instance, that it is only a
matter of form, anyhow, for it's a
transaction among friends. Then the
gentlemanly salesman brings out a
fountain pen, and his new-found friend
tries the new-fangled notion for the first
time in his life. The assistant signs as

.'Then we raise the order from one
dozen to one gross by inserting a,figure

the man of wealth has the agency. He
takes the box home from the express
office, wondering why it is so big. He
finds that he has more books than he

son. is our standby. The first thing is
to get book to publish. The most i'm
portant part of the book is in its name.
Something like Ten Thousand Hints
for Farmers or Information for Com
mon People, is what you want. The
book can be compiled from the hundred
and one similar works by legitimate
authors that have gone before it. Hav-
ing the name and the compiled volume,
we take the manuscript to some rat
printing office to get it printed. You
would be astonished to see what large
bound book we can get up for twenty
hive cents a copy on large editions.
When you see them on the shelf or in
box they do not look at all bad. The
paper is sofA the type is old, and the
stitching doesn't count for much, but
we have few samples put together in
better shape.
