or on a transit line. also he vas a good

! and asked for a job as outside sales
man.
! He was satisfied that ne could han
die II better than most OF the men on
the road and he wanted the apparent
| jollitv OF the life and the better wage
paid. When the manager explained to
him that training and knowledge Of
the business are requisites he COM
planned that "a man has no show now
adays"
Just listen young fellow: Adams has
sod the Reinbeck Courier. II is good
property. Keep On listening: Adams
was 4 hard working. clean and ausbi-
tious young printer a number OF years
ago, The Courier was a run down
country paper without pride in itself
or prospect OF i17proy eZnent. Then
successful newspa Pe- man bought i,
for a song and looked about for some
body 20 run II. He naturally found
Adams who had learned his trade in
The newspaper mans Office and q sort OF
partnership was formed. Well, 90 make
a long story short, Adams sold the
paper the other day for big price for
newspaper in g town the size Of
Re:nbeck. He had owned II for years.
He had show. He had been making
it thru busy youth. He had the re-
quisites TO SHOW Now he has the hard
cash that such requisites accumulate.
Another fellow learned a business or
trade or whatever you may care 10
Term Il some years ago. He hadn't
any pull. Pull doesn't go far anyhow
when YOU stick q few thousand dollars
