that beats anything you have ever
seen. 500 different designs, both
domestic and imported, of wall
pockets and artistic calendars. Do
not be misled by a glib-tongued
calendar agent that comes around,
and to get your order, tells you he
represents the greatest firm in the
u. ). and therefore can sell you
IA calender for nothing. There are
100 chances out of 100 that such
agents get their samples from the
same paper house that we get
them and then sets out to do some
peddling. After getting orders
he has a printer print in the names
sell better calendars cheaper than
any agent because we have no
travelling expense. Anyway if
you intend to give your customers
calendars for the year 1913 let us
know and well sec you.
