P. B. Johnson, 172 N. Halsted
street, Chicago, ILL.,, president of
the largest concern of it's kind in
the world, wants three or four
men in Harrison county and sew
eral men in adjoining counties
to work for him spare time or all
the time. He can use only those
who have a rig or auto. Work
is very pleasant and no previous
selling experience is necessary.
Work consists of leaving won
derful new household necessity in
the homes on free trial. Tests at
more than thirty of the leading
universities and the United States
government bureau of standards
shows this new article to be four
times as efficient as articles now
in general use i'm this section.
Article is needed in every rural
home and benefits every member
of the household, bringing cheer,
comfort and happiness into the
home. Not necessary to be away
from home nights. Pay from Sc

ity and number of homes visited.
In writing Mr.. johnson mention
what township will be most con-
venient for you to work in, what
your regular occupation is, your
age. married or single, what kind
of rig or auto you have, whether
you wish to work spare time or
steady, how much time you will
have to devote to the work, when
you can start, and about how
many homes are within six miles
of you in each direction. This is
a splendid opportunity for several
men in Harrison county and coun-
tics adjoining to make good
money, working steady or spare
time. Some of the field men earn
$500 per month; one farmer
earned ST, 200 working spare time
only. No investment or bond
