personally guarantees to sell fifty tic

ticket short of the desired goal

sold half his quota over the telephone
without going out of his office Only
one party turned him down. Every
one else is either going or are going
to treat their clerks. to good time
What's s. in an annual budget? A
shore dinner, a ball game swimming
contests, a big cabaret and dancing
if desired, at one OF the prettiest lit
tie parks in Maine with the cool

company of real people in the world,
is sure some attrac so Of course
everyone will go. Its this week. they

trying personal attractiveness as his
method. George II. Macomber, vino is
WORKING his friends, and Wilbur

and Lawrence Purinton who is using
