Co, told a cUN man all about II and ex-
pllined that his plan was entirely orig
inal with him. Although persons who
looked up the career OF Mr.. Dawes before
hc conceived his new idea OF industrial
Independence say that he worked In the
washing machine business at 50 a day
when investors were pouring their money
into the scheme afterward exposed as un-
.rohtable and that before he organized

Nj Dawes doesn't guarantee that $500

Arguments to show that the profits ought

intact against the unanswerable argu-
ments OF Mr.. Dawes and his aids and the
result Is that Mr. Dawes's treasurer has
been kept busy since the concern opened
up last November depositing the cash
that has rolled in.
In explaining his method OF selling Mr..

The way the Dawes PLAN works out
is this: Suppose MIS-. A. Is a widow who
has It. Dawes x Co, Will give her
twenty cases Of starch and washing pow

money on the first purchase, II entities
her TO reserve twenty stores on whose

circular.
One man who invested $500 In an
agency wrote to a successful New York
merchant whom he had known in the
merchants home town suggesting that
the New York man might have $4,000
