BOYS SEE The POINT.
They Make Big Money. Make It
Easy. No Capital Invested.
How They DO 1t.

There are several thousand boys and
hundreds of men engaged in st. Louis
in business which brings a weekly
profit of from $S, 900 TO $4,000. It's
the selling of daily papers. Hundreds
of families live comfortably on the
profits of the sale Of daily newspapers.
In St. Louis the favorite newspaper
with the boys is the POST-DISPATCH,
because il sells best. An investigation
has shown that the boys sell more
copies of the daily POST-DISPATCH
than the combined sales of the two
other English evening papers.
One of the pleasures the boys find in
selling papers is they are their Gown
boss" They come and 60 when they
please. While many have regular
corners and newstands. others merely
walk the streets each having his own
peculiar way of ''crying" out his
papers.
The situation is quite different on
Sunday. The papers are printed in
the morning and by six o'clock the
boys and men are out in search of
buyers.
There are four English Sunday pa
pers. Many boys take out 800 hun
dred papers. A boy taking from two
to three hundred papers has all he can
do to get over the ground.
SUNDAYS as on week days finds the
POST-DISPATCH everywhere. It's a
ready seller. It's the ''most for the
money" The Sunday POST-DIS-
PATCH has many original and exciu-
siye features. including the ColOred
Comic Weekly.
These great newspaper offices have
what is called a Circulation Depart
ment," the object of which is to pro-
mote the sale of the papers. This
department answers all requests for
sample copies (Which are sent free),
and so on. In the country as in St.
Louis, they are constantly looking for
.sagents" (boys or men tc represent
them). This is done by the aid OF
travelling men and correspondence.
All letters are promptly answered. 1t
is pleasant work, especially in the
towns outside of St. Louis. Boys in
the outside towns are not called news
boys, but agents.
More money is made outside OF st.
Louis because the selling price is
more and the profit greater.
If you would like to be an agent for
the Post-Dispatch in this city write to
the circulation department of Post
Dispatch, ST. Louis.
