A Chance for Business Positions.

There comes time in every mans
life when he must strike out indepeu-
IDENTIFY when he must face the world
and gain livelihood for himself, and
possibly family. Take the young
man who awakens to the fact that he
ought no longer to depend upon his
parents for support. What is the
most desirable thing he can do? He
looks around him; the stores are full
of men working for barely enough to
keep soul and body together. Some
of the employees have held their
positions for years, and have little or
no prospect of accumulating a COM
potency. The workshops and fac
tories are crowded with men and
women, working early and late in
many instances running their health
and wasting life for a living that
affords no satisfaction. The young
man is ambitious for knowledge,
wealth and honor, Ambitious, per-
haps, to educate himself, aid some
relative, or to obtain a home of his
own. aa fss-lra .a nu- ~ nadtr.G
Enterprising men are on the look
out, nowadays, for men of ability.
The young man is proffered an OPP
portunity to engage in the circulation
of valuable and useful article. He
may be made to see that it will pay
him better than any other position
within his reach. He knows it is
honest and honorable; that he can
accomplish as much good as in any
other way, and that it will give him
a chance to study human nature,
and gain a knowledge of, and a
power over men that will be Of
untold value to him in any position
he may ever hold. a. 4il
1t is now an accepted fact, that the
best articles are sold by subscription,
and that the agency business is as
legitimate and honorable as any
other. Personally am of the opin-
ion that it ranks second to the occu-
patton of teaching in its influence
upon society. There are men who
disgrace any calling, even the
ministry. 1 look with pity upon the
poor whining creature who does not
succeed at anything, and who is often
lured into the canvassing business.
do not contend that agency work is
best for all men, nor that there is
nothing equal to it. l simply at
tempt to call your attention to few
sound reasons why it offers superior
inducements to some young men,
and these reasons are equally appli-
cable to older men. -..
Here is a golden opportunity fol
ladies or gentlemen, young or old, to
make money fast and easy by sell.
