Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two

age.
We live in the country where there
is no work anyone can get to do to
make any money and we want to
make $400.
We are writing to you to get you
TO help US. SCIZZORS.
Dear girls. wish could help you.
It seems to me that the best thing
you can do is to cultivate something
in the country that people can't get
usually in the city, then sell it to the
city people.
You might gather fine MOSES and
flowers in the fields. put them in bas-
kets and start wildhower gardens for
city patrons. You might make The
baskets yourselves, to sell with the
flowers.
Or, you might raise certain flowers
In your home garden and take them
TO the city to dispose of.
You might specialize in certain vege-
tables that bring good prices in the
city.
You surely can do something well
enough to make il saieab,e. Take
your product to the city or a large
town nearby and ask the store peo-
pie TO recommend you to their Gus
toners. Call on people and ask them
II they won't give you orders or buy
what you have.
You might leave some of your
things with a storekeeper to sell on
commission for you.
II you two girls can cook well,
you might open a little delicatessen
