Chicago — And Chicagoans
By CLIFFORD C- MITCHELL
Visiting a Bible House!
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

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."
