Dodge City, Kan. Feb. 24.-The Re
publican says:
A few days ago a Dodge City business
man received a circular letter from
Bloomington, Ill, stating that if he
cared to invest $500 he would be put
on to a plan for making twice that
amount within a weeks time The let
ter was accompanied by a personal let
ter from a friend who was known by
the Dodge City man to be reliable. The
personal letter stated that the Bloom
tngton business was all it was recon-
mended to be, and that it would be i'm
possible to lose and impossible not to
gain.
The Dodge City man was convinced
on account of his friends advice that
the thing was no humbug but he didn' t
care to invest.
A business man from a neighboring
town who was in Dodge City a day or
two later admitted that he had been up
against It. His experience has been
somewhat sensational. too. A travelling
man who was well known to him ap-
preached him one day confdentially,
you have plenty of money and you
want more" said the travelling man.
you take 81, 500 and go to Bloomington,
Ill, and buy your county for the ex-
elusive sale of a newly invented farm
implement. In two weeks you will be a
richer man by several thousand. The
merchant ISDllGQ That SO4u D1ICkS
were too hot for him to handle. That's
all right" said the travelling man. You
take your 81 800 and go to Bloomington.
You will not buy anything you don't
want Just to show you that I'm in
earnest here is $50. III pay you $50 a
day for your time to get you to make
the trip" The merchant found out that
the travelling man got $3.50 for sending
him to Bloomington, for he went and he
left his 81, 500.
On his way home this business man,
who lives in Kearny county, sent three
other men to Bloomington with 81, 500
each. They all invested and half of
their money returned to the Kearny
county man as his commission. He has
now spent $1,000 and has received s.. $50
for sending other customers. He is a
quick, energetic, pushing business man
and now has agents in three different
states at work sending men to Bloom
ington and expects to get $4,000 in COM
missions within the next two weeks
What is it all about?
1t seems that only those who have
gone to Bloomington and dropped their
$500 in the slot can answer that ques-
ton. At any rate the company's meth
Cd is the most successful and sensation
al endless chain system that has ever
been sprung.
Those who pay and get next say that
an immense factory is being built and
that the implement to be manufactured
will make fortune for every man who
buys a county right. Those who are in
the game now do not have to look that
Tar ahead. They make their money by
sending others to Bloomington. Every
man who goes leaves 81, 500, half of this
goes to the man who sends him and half
goes to the company. Several we'll
known travelling men are giving their
attention to sending recruits to Bloom
1ngton. It is spreading like contagious
disease and at the present rate Bloom
ington viii mash the st. Louis exposi-
ton out of existence by drawing all of
the crowds away.
