light canvas covered affairs that turn
over in trip-hammer style, and can be
operated only by a person who knows

The roof and chimneys are to be made

Two large. square openings are cut
out at the front and above them an
OblOng is cut on three sides. Bent
outward this forms an awning that is
painted in red and white stripes. A
door is cut in the side and panels and
dooIknObs painted on it. Openings
are cut in the roof to hold the chin
neys and 1t is painted in green squares
to simulate shingles
The house and chimneys are paint
ed red fined with white to simulate
bricks. White paper pasted over the
windows will look like a shade. After
the parts are made they are fas-
tened together with paper fasteners.

You as an individual have no more

you are only n yellow envelope with

But flattery goes a long ways. You
must be flattered, you must be ca

kinds Of promises, but none Of them
will be kept. Your money is what we
want. But l must try to make you
believe that you are a great friend,
that read your letters personally and
answer them.
Dear Friend-Tt's all bunk. For ev-
cry letter sent you, full of llattery and
insincere statements and lies. there
are thousands Of others all over the
country who get exactly the same let
ters I'll guarantee that many OF you
who read these confessions by me
have read letter after letter written
by me and to which the name Of some
big boss was signed with a rubber

and ink, writing the boss name.
