Dear Mrs. Thompson-we are four
children. am the oldest girl--14
years. My papa. is sick and mamma
supports us by washing, but she Is
not strong. How can we help?
You and the next oldest one could
help by making sweet popcorn balls
and sailed peanuts at home, then TAX
Ing them around, in baskets, to the
offices downtown and selling them to
the people. Sell the balls at a cent
each and put the peanuts in 6-cent
packages. ut will not cost much to
buy the corn and raw peanuts-just
get small amounts at first and increase
as your trade grows. Perhaps your
father can help, too. I know OF people
who have worked up quite a business
I'm popcorn balls alone. You could add
taffy candy by-and-by.
You are a very dear little girl to
wish TO help your parents, and. ! hope
You VIII succeed.
