The young mans appearance did not
seem to indicate that there was any.
thing out of the common about him.
and his admirers companion said so.
"Well, I'll tell you how | came to
discover his genius" said the man who
what he did think you'll agree with
me. He secured typewriter without
paying a cent for IT, and without doing
n stroke of work for It, and he did II
in perfectly honest and legitimate
way, too. In fact, he actually made
money on the transaction. only
discovered how he did it by accident,
and I've been wondering AT the genius
and simplicity of the scheme ever
since. He was formerly employed IN
the same Office with me. and we both
had to do n good deal Of writing. One
day he came up to me and proposed
that we should hire n typewriter TO-
gether
we can hire typewriter for Si n
MONTH he said. and IL we split it be.
tween us it will only cost us fifty cents
week each. We can do that all right,
because we wouldn't be using II at the
same time, anyway. If you give me 81
now I'll 90 up to the Office Of one OF
the typewriter companies and have
them send down typewriter. I'll ar
range the whole thing so as TO save
you any trouble
II agreed to this and the young man
went off with the 50. Every month ]
paid him 50, and we both used the
typewriter with perfect satisfaction.
About week after the first payment
l learned that my friend was not pay.
ing anything for the typewriter, but
was actually making little on it. He
was hiring it out to man who only
used it occasionally, and whom he per-
suaded to pay him fifty cents n week
for the use Of It. l thought that this
was rather clever, but l didn't realize
the full measure of my friends ability
until a year had expired, Then |
learned from q man who had CALLED
to collect payment on 1t that he had
agreed to buy the typewriter on the
installment plan, paying S4 montl,
for it. The man was calling for tie
last monthly payment on it at the time.
and the typewriter is now the proper
ty of my friend. 1t took him a year
to pay 1t off at 81 month, and he
was receiving fifty cents a week for
1t all the time. l never took the troll
BILE to figure it out, but l can see that
he must have been making n little Oh

sold in this country and large part
of that used abroad comes from the
