own typewriter. You will be taking
no chances whatever. All you have
to do is to deposit your money in the
Coulee State Bank and at the end of
the term if you are satisfied with
your instructions the money is paid
to the instructor. The only way you
can have such an enterprise is pro-

absolutely impossible to start with
less than that number. All, ,Who
