An INGENIOUS DRU MINER.
How the Agent for an Engine Worked Up
a Big Business.

His name il Barnes. Until recently he
was a mechanic. Now he Is a travelling
salesman Of distinctly novel variety.
He ives il the prairie section Of the
middle West and when gasolene engines
began to approach their present practical
bility decided that they were bound to
replace windmills for farm purposes. In
this belief he secured an agency for the
one he considered best, procured a sample
and set it up OH an ordinary farm wagon,
from which he removed the pole.
BY q few simple connections he arranged
his wagon to steer from inside the body,
according to Spare Moments. One shaft
with sone sprocket wheels and chain made
all the mechanism necessary In order for
the engine 10 drive his combination at the
rate OF six miles an hour.
He carries a pump jack and a small as
sortment of small pulleys, 30 arranged as TO
be capable Of attachment 10 chuTns, washing
machines and the like. His outfit attracts
attention and makes talk. all OF which has
advertising value; while when he pulls INTO
a farmers yard he can show his prospective
customer Just what the machine will do.
Al a result he sells more engines than all
other agencies In his territory; and as he
carries his Office in his pocket his territory
Is limited only by h~isspeed.
