great ability and integrity Wuu 1901
away their time under the monstros-
tiles of the 'scredit System" when
the Utilities of the modern meth
DDS are so great. The Illustrations
which we print on the bottom lines of
this paper and on the last page ar so
instructiv, presented with so much
force, that no man, possessing even
the smallest degre of horse sence, can
escape the conviction that lie is vast
ing his time and money under a sys-
TEN wei, hay almost sed, that vii
beat U 95 out of 100, like the novice
walking up and taking his desperate
chances against the Faro or the Five
aces or John Barleycorn. / only
want one year of yor time--I want
to tear from your brain the ideas
that llav held U down al yor life,
vii reconstruct them in one day, and
in one year U will be as firm a
disciple of the Bouss System, as the
auteor himself.
On the last page viii be one of the
most powerful advertisements that
we have ever reed from any quarter,
concerning the merits of our system.
1 often thaut that had that com
mand of the English language that
wd speak of our marvellous bisnes in
betting terms, but thes splendid
fellows, Jones & Co., of Kansas City,
Kansas, make me feel the poverty of
Iangu age. 1t is a sermon not only
of the present day, but that viii last
far into generations. He is rite.
Bisnes vii be dun wholly on the Rouss
System. The cancer of credit viii
hav eaten up every vestige of the
Ledger Army. 1t viii he al on the
basis of leash BEFORE DELIVERY.
Illustration is nifty educator.
Among other Illustrations on the
bals page is that of j. r. Britain, of
Van Buren,. Ark, which speaks for
itself. 1t is almost incredible. /
told this magnificent felo that he cud
have $1,000 without the scratch of
pen. In one of his letters he
writes: "rhe month of May has
past. 1 sold from little 81, 100 stock
during the month 50 1871. 50; leave
1T with you U TO sa whether or not 1
did vel. U hav not man that
labord under the disadvantages that
l did; my help was very por. 1
tlretend U for $40, 900 in two years.
/ have yors for 5000 now" 1t is
evident this enthusiast is in ded ern-
est in the matter, and at the end of
two years, if U are reading the last
page of our monthlies, q vii find him
ava up in tie lofty attitudes.
After we hav stript the oIdtimer of
his barbaric ideas of the antediluvian
ages, it goes right hard the first day,
selling stuff at quarter of dollar that
lie had in tile long, hard years of the
past sold ut 80, 10 cents and 81.
The sweet smiles of admiration, the
stare of establishments and amazemcnt
however amply repaid him. The
next day he was used to it, and the
loer lie cud sci the NOR in luv lie was
with his bisnes; the unbisneslike idea
of making the most of evrything in a
sale had Invested him of al such nom
sense--he was only too anxius to sci
at price that wud Supply his Gus
toners. If lie cud sci at 8, lie wCl not
ask 3; if he cud sci one-half dozen
for 3, lie wd not ask 5 for one. In
a single da lie had got the idea, it
was great big advertisement that
overshadowed every sale and went
with every package.
Under the old system of I" highway
ROBBERY" the old lady would count her
little coin, make it teach as far as it
wd, counting it over and over and
over agen, When the felo stagers her
with his marveIus qotations, she
slams down the mony without MUIR
muir; it is al easy enuf at cent a
pece. hut under the Iii tarifer, at 4
and and 6 for the same item, she
has to figur very close, lest the mony

home she finds she has about duble
tile qontity of goods that she xpected

creme between the past and the future
--thc difference between the rite and
the rong, between King Credit and
the ROUSS SYSTEM"
AT the bottom of one of the pages
viii be found little luz Letter from a
rough diamond in Glasco, Kan. Their
