The second chapter in my life began a few
1 months later, when another opportunity came to
me. It required an investment of $20,000 daring
;the first year. I raised the money easily, paid
I back every penny I borrowed; and ha'l $30. "00
Heft at the end of the first year! To date, in less
than four year, my bussiness has (paid me a clear
profit of over $20,000 and is now earning be-
ftween $50,000 and $70,000 a year. Yet for
twelve years before, the company had been-Iosing
money every year!

my reader to ask is,
0,000 to invest in a
business which had
previously been a
failure, after being
unable to borrow
$1,000 for an invest
ment that seemed
jo'vure? It is a fair
question. And the
answer can be giv.en
in two little words
-WILL POWER.
When the first
proposition came to
me I passed it by
simply because I. did
n't have the money
and couldn't borrow
it. I went from one
friend, to the next
and all turned me
down. Several re
fused to talk busi
ness with mo at all.
They all liked me
personaly, and they
asked about the kid
dies, but when it
came to money
matters I hadn't a
chance. I was scared
stiff every time I
talked to o n j of
them. I pleaded with
them, almost begged
them. But everybody
had their , "niqney
r 11 tied up in other
investments' It was
an old excuse, but I accepted i. mkly. I called
it hard luck. But I know today that it was
nothing in the world except my lack c Y'll
Powor, or rather my weak Will Power, which
kept me from getting what I wanted.
When I heard that the man sold those shares
at a profit of $4,300, it seemed that my sorrow
could not be greater. That profit was just about
what my saUr, amounted to for fur years!
But instead of -ievl-s over my "hard luck,"
I decided' to find out why I ,.as so easily beaten
in everything, I tried to accomplish. Tt must bo
that there was something vital that made tho
difference between success and failure. Tb was
n'L lack of educatt n, for many illiterate men
became wealthy. What wau this vital spark?
What was this one thing tiioh successful men
had and which I did not have?
I began to read books about psychology and
mental power. But everything I read was too
general. There was nothing definite - nothing
thaC told me what -to do.
After several months of discouraging effort,
I finally encountered a book called "Power of
Will," by Prof. Frank Channing Haddock. Tho
very 'title came to me as a shock. When I
opened the book I was amazed. I realized that
will powor was the vital spark the one thing
that I lacked. And here in this book were tho
very rules, lessons and exercises through which
anyone could increase their will powor. Eagerly
I read page after page; including such articles
as: The Law of Great Thinking; How to
Develop Analytical Power; How to Concentrate
Perfectly; How to Guard Against Errors In
Thought; How to Develop Fearlessness; How
to Acquire a Dominating Personality.
An hour after I opened the book I felt like
a new person. My sluggish will power was be
ginning to awaken. There was a new light in
my eye, a new spring in. my step, a new determ
ination in my soul. I began to see, in my past
the many mistakes I hadmade, and I knew I
would never make them again.
I practiced some of the simple exerdses. They
were more fascinating than any game of cards
or any sport.
Then came an opportunity to acquire tho
business which had lost money for twelve years,
and which I turned Into a $50,000 a year money
maker. Instead of cringing before the moneyed
people, I won them over by my sheer force of
will. I would not be denied. And my every act
and word since then has been tho result of my
training in will power.
I am convinced that every man has within
hfmself every essential quality of success except
a strong will. Any man who doubts that state
ment need only analyze tho successful men ho
knows, and ho will find himself their equal, or
their superior, in every way except , In will
power. Without a strong will, education counts
for little, money counts for nothing, opportun
ities are useless.
I earnestly recommend Prof. Haddock's great
work, "Powor of Will," to those who feel that
success is just out of reach to those who lack
that something which they cannot define, yet
which holds them down to the grind of a small
salary.
Never before have business men and women
needed this help so badly as in these trying
timoBj, Hundreds of roal and imaginary ob
stacle's confront us every day, and only those
who aro masters of thomsolvos and who. hold
their hoads up will succood. "Powor of Will"
as never boforo Is an absolute necessity an
investment In self-culturo which no ono can
afford to deny himself.
I am authorized to say that any roador who
cares to oxamino "Powor of Will" for flvo days
may, do so without sending any money in ad
vance If after ono hour you do not feel that
your will power has increased, and, if after flvo
days' reading you do not feel that this great
book supplies that ono faculty you need most
to win success, return it and you will owe noth
ing. Otherwise send only 3.00 tho small sum
asked.
Some few doubters will scoff at tho Idea of
will power, being tho fountainhoad of wealth,
position and everything wo aro striving for but
tho groat mass of Intelligent men and women
will at least investigate for themselves by send
ing for tho book at tho publisher's risk. I am
sure that any book that has dono for mo and
for thousands of others-1 what "Power of Will"
has done Is well worth investigating. It is
interesting to note that among tho 250,000
owners of "Power of Will" are such promiuonc
men as Supremo Court Justice Parker; Wu Ting
Fang, Ex-U. S. Chinese Ambassador; Governor
McKelvio, of Nebraska; Assistant Postmastor
General Brltt; General Manager Christeson, of
Wells-Fargo Express Co.; E. St. Elmo Lewis;
Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas and thou
sands of others. In fact, today "Powor of Will"
is just as important, and as necessary to a
man's or moman's equipment for success, as a.
dictionary. To try to succeed without Power of
Will Is like trying to do business without a
telephone.
Ac your first step in will training, I suggest
immediate action in this matter before you. It
Is not even necessary to write a letter. Use tho
form below,' if you prefer, addressing It to tho
Pelton Publishing Cdmpany, 140-H Wilcox
Block, Moriden, Conn., and the book will come
by return mail. You hold In your hand, this
very minute, tho beginning of ?. new era In your
life. Over a million dollars has been paid for
"Power of Will" by people who sent for it on
free examination. Can you, In justice of your
self, hesitate about sending In tho coupon? Can
you doubt, blindly, when yoi can see, without
a penny deposit, this wonder-book that will in
crease your will power in one hour?
Tho cost of paper, printing and binding has
almost doubled during the past threo years, in
spite of which "Power and Will" has not been
Increased in price. Tho publisher feels that so
great a work should be kept as low-priced as
possible, but in view of tho enormous increase
In tho cost of every manufacturing item, the
present edition will be the last sold at the
present price. Tho next edition will cost more.
I urge you to send In tho coupon now.
