business men who reach their customers

Usher gets out n new book which he
wants To sell through agents. lie is
anxious To learn the names and ad-
dresses If all the men and women in
the United States who sell subscription
books. He also wants the names OF
those who sell other goods in the same
way, because they are very likely to
drop the other article for the sake Of
the new book. Then he wants the ad-
dresses OF the people who have never
acted rs agents, but who want to try to
see what they can do. He advcrtises
for agents in u variety of papers. at q
pretty heavy expense. IL costs him
several cents for every lcttcr of inquiry
about his book that he receives. To
that letter OF inquiry he sends his
elaborate circulars. como TO the re-
