BOYS SEE THE POINT.

There are several thousand
boys and hundreds of men en-
gagged in st. Louis in a business
which brings a weekly profit of
from $4,000 to $4,000. It's the
selling of daily papers. Hun
dreds of families live comfortably
on the profits of the sale of daily
newspapers.
In st. Louis the favorite news
paper with the boys is the POST
Dispatch, because it 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 "own boss" They come
and go 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
papers. Many boys take out 300
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

These great newspaper offices

Louis, they are constantly look

represent them). This is done by
the aid of travelling men and
correspondence. All letters are
promptly answered. It is pleas
