LISTEN TO MY STORY"
For many years have struggled
along-f,lling one Job and another, 3
some big and some small-but
none taking me where I wanted
to 60. always had BIGGER
ideas--and kept my eyelids pinned
way back watching for some op-
portunity big enough to give me a
chance to put over something
worth while.
! FOUND IT
And I have two reasons for want
ing to tell YOU about II. First
because / aEl good fellow enough
to pass a good thing along
And 6econd-because owe 1t to
my company TO help them get a
few more good men.
I am not being paid for telling
this story-and give you my
word that I have nothing to gain
by It In any way.
Last September 7 read in the Sun
day Times an advertisement by
this company. Just rs YOU are
reading this advertisement. II
claimed that an opportunity was
open for men to become identi-
fled with the company's sales de-
partment and to make a perma-
nent connection with an earning
possibility OF $4,000 a year or
more.
Frankly couldn't conceive that
a man could get really worth
while position In a clean. legiti-
mate business through a news
paper advertisement. ] was very
skeptical. by investing perhaps
thought, by investing perhaps
twenty minutes OF my time and
two cent stamp to write a letter.
discovered that the company
was headed by mon of the highest
personal integrity. that they were
doing an eminentiy worth while
and profitable business and that
all departments were pervadcd by
a spirit OF clean. straight-shoot-
ing activity.
Here Il what happened:
Joined the organization on Septeyn-
Der 22nd--virtually greenhori
at selling OF any kind.
was trained in less than a week.
Started out the next week and In
that first week earned for myself
3f4e.
1t Is now nine weeks since I
started work. In those nine weeks
have made exactly $3.50. which
is an average of $3.50 per week.
And-I have tremendously en-
Joyed the work. ! almost missed
this opportunity by debating
whether or not to spend few
minutes writing the short letter
that put mo in touch with II.
So !, thought possibly a true,
frank letter written by q man who
nine weeks ago was reading an
advertisement in the same mental
attitude as you are to-day Sead-
what ! did. Wrote a letter; In
vestigated the opportunity by ap-
pointment; Joined the organiza-
ton and am to-day happily max
ing much money and building a
permanent future for myself.
Now you have heard my story.
have stated facts only.
II you will come and look me
over--you will see that I am not
wizard--tliat have no cx-
traordinary ability--and the only
reasons that succeeded was that
the proposition I had to sell was
right and COULD be sold-the
company behind was favorably
known and myself started out
II you could pep yourself UP to
the point where you can mako a
big effort for big money
Then write me a letter stating
when you would like to call and
VIII put you next to the propo-
sition and personally help you In
every way that I can.
Eemcmber-I answered an adver-
tisement-just like this one and
did not know any more about
the proposition than you know
But-within less than three months
i am averaging around $4,000
year.
believe that ~ I can do it-you
can do It. And just as soon az
YOU have demonstrated your abil-
ity-you will be promoted TO real
executive position where your
earnings will more than satisfy
you and where your further climb
will solely depend upon your own
ability.
Consider that all IN tho world that
i ask you to do II write me a letter
and writing one letter more or
less Will not mean much TO you.
Just a few lines and tell me sorne-
thing about yourself.
That's all l want.
Go ahead and write II and I prom
Use you you will not be disap-
pointed.
Sincerely yours.
