The General Board recommends

ion are sufficiently substantial to

The General Board makes the fol-
owing suggestions:

If They Can Do 1t
So Can You

Some of those who have taken up
spare-time home knitting on the
Home Profit Knitter are making
around SO to SIS a week at it. Some
around SO. Some around SIS. Some
even as high as $50 or more. The
amount each earns from week to
week is always in proportion to the
amount of time and effort given to
the work. And every dollar thus
earned is extra money-a welcome
addition to the regular family or per-
sonal income.
Some of our many spare-time home
workers are married women. Some
are school Misunderstanding their free,
time after school and holidays. Some
are young unmarried women who
would rather earn money at home
than work in store or office or fac
tory. Some are men. A few give
all their time to home knitting-find-
ing it pays better than anything else
they can do.
Some live on farms, some in small
towns, some in large cities-where
one happens to live makes no differ
ence whatever.

of Pay Is
Guaranteed

The pay is sure. The Home Profit
Hosiery Company guarantees to take
every pair of socks you knit for them
on Home Profit Knitter, in accord
ance with their simple instructions,
and guarantees to pay you a fixed
price for each pair as fast as you finish
them and send them in. There is big
and steady year-round demand for
genuine horne-knit wool socks, and the

all it can get. But, if preferred, you
have the privilege of selling part or all

own price, instead of sending them to
