Would Be a Typewriter.

My Dear Miss Doom:
Gould you tell me If 1t is likely that
l would be able to obtain enough type
writing to do to warrant my buying a
machine? How could l obtain such
work, and would same be sent me,
or would 1t be necessary to call for
it? Dc you think I would be running
any risk in dealing with parties un-
known to me, that is In regard to
payments? STENOGRAPHER.
Much depends upon your ability to
override seeming obstacles. The best
way is to advertise. The concerns that
sell the typewriters usually keep a list
of workers on hands whom they recon-
mend to those requiring such service.
Another good way Is to offer your
services to some oficeholder in return
for desk room. In hat way you would
become known, having. of course, the
privilege of displaying a sign. Usually,
people bring the work to the type
writer. There Is more or less risk in
all business transactions, but strict
business methods will protect you to a
certain extent.
