ButChers-Make Money During
Your Spare Time!

Many a butcher has made money by keeping in touch with
outside interests through the Want AID Columns of the daily and
Sunday Bee.
The enterprSng butcher who looks into the future and
works to improve himself and the conditions of his family does
not waste the time when there are no buyers in his shop. He
keeps his daily Bee in a convenient place. He reads the Want
Ads when he is not working at the "block. He sees opPortun-
tiles that he would never learn of in any other way.
Many a trade is started in this way. At night when the
shop is shut up the butcher closes the deals that he learned of
during the day through reading the Want Ads. .
Butchers, don't be content with what you are doing Get
ahead! Make money! Money never comes to you-you can
only get it by keep ping in touch with outside affairs The clas-
shied columns of the Bee every day and Sunday are worthy OF
your attention.
