He found out: "Just take hold of the tops and lift.” He sent stamps to a Chicago firm for informaiion as to how to make an impression. The answer was: "Sit down on a pan of dough.’’ He learned "How to double your money in six months,” being advised to convert his money into bills and fold them.” He sent for “twelve useful household articles” and got a package of needles. He sent $1 to find out “how to get rich.” The secret was, “Work hard and never spend a cent.” He wa-ote to find out how^ to WTite without pen and ink. He was told to use a lead pencil. He paid $1 to learn how to live without work, and w'as told on a pos tal card: “Fish for easy marks, as w'e do.” DYES ALL ¥JnDS OF FABRICS AT THE SAME TiiVIE r—f \ !Iari?;c7rir2fi^ f I Ccc'rrs I j rnd I I //r:;> io frerJ i I or Dischariie | Colors fidly j explained { in c::r j I‘'rce Booklet | ' If,. ! lioTT rf'nt Trcl crjsyitii? al -vt ' f in r.ro Dye- vitii l\.;iinoo\v Dyca."
