If every person in the United States

then suppose the people kept this mp

at the end of thirty days they would

Why not keep tap for the rest Of
1892 What would be the result? One

Sounds like z lot Of work for one little
nickel to do, doesn't ii, yet there are
scores Of Industries in. the United
States which are paying big dividends
on the little nickels gathered day by
