Corner Stone of Countless Libraries

N every collection of books for home, school or office, there should be one general reference work which is comprehensive, reliable, up-to-date and written so clearly that even the young folks can understand.

It thus becomes the corner-stone of every library, little or great, wherein it finds a place.

Just such a work as this is

THE NEW

INTERNATIONAL ENCYCLOPAEDIA

This incomparable twenty-four volume set is indeed "the corner stone of countless libraries," for its sale began in 1902 and has steadily increased since that date, more sets having been sold last year, than during any other like period. This in itself is proof that THE NEW INTERNATIONAL is in very truth:

How Milo Jones and His Wife
Made a Fortune

Starting in their own home, during their spare
time, they built up a big money-making business

By Williard Osborne

NE time when the minister came to break bread
at the farm home of Brother Milo Jones, Milo
thought the good man was probably "fed up"
on chicken so he gave him some of Mrs. Jones'
home-made sausage.

The sausage made such a gastronomic hit with
the pastor, that Mrs. Jones gave him a liberal
supply to take home to his wife.

And that's what started the Jones family on the pleasant road to fame and fortune.

The pastor's friends, the Joneses friends and everyone else who tasted that sausage said it tasted like

more.

Spare-Time Business Plans, which are filled with practical money-making ideas-the real secrets of business success.

137 Easy Ways to Make Money

The Independence Spare-Time Business Plans are for men, women, boys and girls who want to make money by turning their idle hours to profitable account.

They contain 137 successful business plans, any one of which you can adopt, for making money right at home, during your spare

[graphic]

time. And they insisted on having more; with the result that Milo and his wife were soon spending all of their spare time in the kitchen making sausage to supply the demand.

This demand soon outgrew the kitchen facilities. Then it outgrew the entire farm. Now the business occupies one of the largest and finest factories of its kind and Jones' Dairy Farm Sausage is found in the best homes, hotels and clubs in this country; bringing a higher price than any other similar product.

Most Businesses Start Small

The experience of the Jones' is not exceptional. Many big businesses were started right at home, on the proverbial shoe string.

Mary Elizabeth who has achieved fame and fortune in the candy business made her first batch of sweets in the home kitchen and sold it among her friends.

E. J. Shaylor, a traveling salesman, spent his spare time raising peonies. Now he is an expert in that line, has a big business and has received as high as $100.00 for a single bulb of one of his choice varieties.

One of the country's successful real estate men started during his spare time, without capital or experience and built up a million-dollar business in less than five years.

In fact the pages of business history are dotted thickly with examples of ambitious people who, starting without capital or experience, have turned their spare time to such good account that they soon built up profitable, independent businesses, and are now living on the sunny side of Easy

street.

What You Can Do

You, too, can turn your spare time to profitable account. Time is money. And we all have an equal share of it. What are you doing with your share? Are you wasting several precious hours a day that you could use in starting and developing a money-making business of your own?

If you are, stop it right now! Make up your mind-today-that from now on you will use your spare time intelligently and profitably-turning your idle hours into golden hours-for your spare time properly used can easily ean to you the difference between success and failure.

best way to start is to get and follow the Independence

And in addition to this big collection of carefully-gathered business ideas, the plans also contain the fundamental business principles that make it easy for you to start right-avoiding the common mistakes-the snags and pitfalls-that you would otherwise run up against. Each one of us has some talent, hobby, knowledge, ability, experience or equipment we can turn into cash.
