Recently in other columns I have mentioned the letter and the gift of a Bible from a large Bible Publishing House- I shall use this space in rec ording my impressions after my visit to their plant which is at the corner of South Jefferson and Polk Street in Chicago a three story brick build ing almost wholly occupied by this Bible industry. In this building are the general sales department the edi torial department the printing de partment and the stock and shipping rooms. At this plant the New Analy I wrote in my book comment column tical Bible about the receipt of which last week is published. The binding is done by the A. J. Cox Company master book binders of Chicago and the distribution is hand led through the John A. Dickson1 Publishing Company with Mr. A. W- j Cox president of both companies. Mr- G- C- Buxton is in charge of Sales and Advertising and has direct supervision of the distribution of the 1 hundreds of thousands of Bibles Dr- James R- Kaye one of the out shipped out of this building, standing Bible scholars of the coun try is the director of the Student’s Bible Institute which is under the supervision of the Dickson Publish ing Company. Dr- Kaye is the author of many religious books; we will con sider these at- a later time. The New Analytical Bibles are marketed through several different channels mostly through individual representatives in each community or through newspaper and display ad vertising placed in hundreds of pub lications Many religious and secular news l papers and magazines advertise the New Analytical BJbie over their own name because the advertising done by the publishers has created a uni versal demand for ibis Book- full page advertisements appeared in more than a hundred and fifty reli gious magazines and newspapers last year In this connection I might mention the tact that Mr. Buxton asked me to supply him with the names of the various colored publications as their firm is willing to give the colored paginations the same advertising proposition as handled by the white publications. The New Analytical Bible comes in a great variety of styles and bind ings. There is a price to fit every pocketbook. All are beautifully printed on genuine India paper and many of them arc bound in the finest imported leathers In addition to the, selling of Bibles they have? - complete Bible -Study Course which is conducted under the name of the Student’s Bible Institute This Course covers a period of two years and entitles the purchaser to two additional volumes namely the Student’s Bible Guide and Helps and Through the Bible in Two Years. The Course and text books including a New Analytical Bible and two years’ correspondence privileges are sold on a convenient installment payment plan and is sold also through adver tising in publications and through direct representatives Complete literature on all of the atove including fifty important Bible Questions and Answers will be for warded free to all those writing di Company 800 South Jefferson Street rect to John A- Dickson Publishing Chicago. Commercial Opportunities - i Ar. Opportunity to Build a Repeat Business! The Casterline Candy Company, manufacturers of candies novelties and toys, for the past five years have authorized me to advise my readers that they are putting on a campaign to secure a specialty sales man in each community in the coun try. This firm wants only one repre sentative in each community and if - such representative qualifies the Casterline Candy Company will pro- | I tect the agent on all business coming j from that community- The agents’, j qualifications are that he should be j well known in the community and be j able to contact the merchants as' j well as the consumers- This proposi- j j tion appears to be a rapid seller, with ( i arge profit to agent and merchant and with an enormous repeat possi bility and it is on this repeat busi ness that the agent will “cash in’’ on a protected exclusive territory. Write to the Casterline Candy Company, 4541 Ravenswood Avenue Chicago immediately as only one agent in a community will be placed. I might mention the fact that their candy is a penny seller with an opportunity of securing free prizes on each penny purchase including a large box of 0. H. Henry carmels and many other novelties and specialty items Another Exclusive Territory Opportunity! ror men and women agents 1 have run across an opportunity that a real live go getter can make an independ ent and profitable living handling the Nu-Way Later Bandage “that breathes” which sells at a low popu lar price and to consumers direct professional people stores hospitals schools factories first aid stations aid stations Bk5t shrdl cmfwy cmv c etc. While at the office of the Nu Way Manufacturing Company 3817 West Harrison Street Chicago I per i sonally investigated he records of several of their agents throughout the country- One man I recall start ed with a small capital of $7-20 last November and during the months of November December January and February the poorest season of the year this man in Indiana has pur chased close to $300 worth of Nu Way Latex Bandages at whoesale prices on which he was able to make from one hundred to four hundred per cent on his investment according to the class of sales he made. Many other agents are doing and have done even better than this one who started with only $7-20 I would rec cmmend that every interested pro spective agent write at once to the Nu Way Manufacturing Company 3817 West Harrison Street Chicago I for full particulars on this wonder ful money making opportunity and how to become an exclusive distri butor in your district An Opportunity not requiring a single penny of Capital! The Kay Products Company 5021 South Wells Street Chicago manu children’s raincoats; leather coats facturers of men's women’s and sport blouses etc- for over twenty years are now lining up their spring and summer campaign through agents- They have never attempted to use colored agents particularly but are quite willing to allow their colored prospects the same agency proposition as they give the whites and to ail pvospcclve agents who write at once before their sample outfits have become exhausted the Kay Products Company will send ab solutely free with transportation charges prepaid their sample selling kit and full instructions as to how the agent can with only one or two orders a day make a living with earn ings great-r than any ordinary job Would likely pay in salary and with out one single penny cm investment on the part of the agent. This pro position should be acted on at once for the company ha: only a limited number of these free selling kits to send out and aiso gocause their agents must be assigned now at the beginning of their most profitable sales season. An Opportunity For Every City Many municipal administrations of the United States have taken ad vantage of the opportunity offered to them by the C- W- A. to start in tensive .surveys and investigations into local traffic conditions with the aid of competent staffs provided by the Federal Administration to find cut what causes automobile accid ents. This series of traffic surveys is one of the most interesting develop ments of the present day Federal aid plan- They will show not only wh»t kind of accidents happened and what the cost was in death injury and property damage but also what phy sical conditions and human failures helped to bring them about. These will include anything from misplaced traffic signal lights and improperly banked turns to violations of the speed laws- When the purveys are finished city officials will know where why when and how auto mobile accidents are occurring in their communities With the information obtained im provements can be made on the basis of actual facts and no waste of mat erial or man power will be involved Sidney J, Williams vice president of the National Safety Council is Director of Safety for the C. W- A and is head of the clearing house for technical information on these pro jects- According to Maxwell Halsey Traffic Engineer of the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Un derwriters who is Mr. Williams’ as sistant in charge of the area for New England New York and New Jersey “Traffic surveys can be made profit ably in any city of the United States No city is too small or too large- If the studies are made and their con clusions followed a 50 per cent accid ent reduction is entirely possible."
