What 500 to $500 Per Month
WIN DO.
One hundred to five hundred dol
lars per month will put ice and fans
in your home In summer and warm
fires In your home In. winter; will
put good food on your table, good
clothes on your hack and a happy
smile on your face-the harvest
smile" OF success. You may stick to
your work or business, and let tbs
income from our oyster farm IS
ADDITIONAL.
Rel nber that success never
comes from saving money, but al
ways COMES from INVESTING
SAVED MONEY. Success never
comes from HARD WORK. Gen.
orally, he who works hardest and
longest is the POOREST; but he
who can make a SAVED DOLLAR
WORK while he SLEEPS. always
has PLENTY.
WHILE wages are good and
business prosperous, he or she
Is wise who puts $40 per-
month to WORK by the pur-
chase Of a share in the Oyster
Growers Cooperative Association, It
works while you sleep.
Oyster Farming Is Old, True and
Tried.
There are thousands of people w.
ing in inland communities who know
little or nothing about oyster cuI-
ture, but oyster farming is not new
or un.rled, but on the other hand. is
an experienced success. AS proof
Of this fact. let the worlds greatest
authority speak. The United States
government says in economic circu-
ar No. IS. revised, on page 8 that
in one year half million acres were
planted for oyster culture in the
United States. On that half mil.
lion acres the planters did no land
clearing. fencing, blowing, hoeing,
fighting weeds and grass. and no
drainage, irrigating or fertilizsng.
Now smilel Quite different to dads
soil crops on the old farm isn't it?
Sounds like a fish story" However,
it's an oyster story''-and is true.
The oysters on that half million
acres grew into a money crop
the planters were at home
or absent on vacation, or even
when those planters remained in
their store. shop or fields on other
business or another job. Now smile |
again or horselaugh, If you choose.
In all kinds of weather-hot, cold, |
wet or dry those oysters grew into |
food and money. Sounds queer, but |
Is it.~so very queer or unnatural? |
You haven't any laugh on these
planters Of the half million acres
when you read the United States /
governments report of their har-
vest of multiplied millions OF bush |
els OF oysters, worth many millions |
Of dollars. You have noticed that |
when we quote the government on |
oyster culture. we always give the |
number Of document and page. We /
VIII be glad to show you all these re-
ports If you desire To call at our Of +
Tee. We have then all.
IT'S Wise to Get q Lifetime Income /
While Business and Wages
Are Good
Never have business and wages
oaen SO good as now. You remen1-
Der when q dollar looked as big as
/ cart wheel and bought an armload
81 groceries. Now q dollar looks
IKE $50 cents and buys only
square meal at good restaurant.
While money is cheap IS the golden
line to save il. and get a lifetime
income.
Never again win opportunity be so
great as now. But listen friend. and /
