FRANK CHANNING HADDOCK $300,000 a Year Paid by Business Men For His Money-Making Advice ONE hundred thousand people are paying this enormous sum for the help and advice of Prof. Frank Channing Haddock, a scientist whose name ranks with such famous mental-culturists and psychologists as Bergson, James and Royce. As a result of his help, these people are increasing their earnings by leaps and bounds. Here are a few instances: One man writes that a single day’s study of Prof. Haddock’s advice netted him $300. Another man says that, after reading Prof. Haddock’s helps, his first week’s profit was $897. A third man was helped to close a $2,000 deal which had been hanging fire for months. Still another man increased his sales from $200 a week to $7,500 a week. Another remarkable case is that of the young man who increased his earnings from $25 a week to $1,000 a. week as a result of Prof. Haddock’s advice. And what sort of help does Frank Channing Fladdock prescribe? He simply teaches men how to increase their will power. He maintains that the one outstanding weakness in every failure and in every partially successful man is a weak will power. He claims that, through disuse, our will power has become dormant to such an extent that when we want to use it we are unable to. It is just like a hinge that has grown rusty from lack of use — it won’t swing when you want it to, even though that is its natifral function. Undoubtedly there are tens of thousands of men, who have every faculty necessary to success, yet who do not succeed. They plod along year after year earning but a bare existence. There are other men with no greater knowledge of business affairs, with no greater advantages of education, with no greater desire to win success, who become wealthy. Prof. Haddock states that the difference between the successful man and the average man can be measured by the difference in their will power. Two men may have a million dollar idea. One man has the will power to put his idea across and the other _ hasn’t. The brain capacity of each man is the same. One man has the force of mind to capitalize to the fullest extent what he knows, while the other is timid, afraid, lacking in self-confidence. Is it any wonder that thousands of people _ every year ask for Prof. Haddock’s advice on how to increase and capitalize their will power? The secret of success is no secret at all — it is a knack. Once you learn the knack of turning all your efforts into money, your fortune is assured. And that knack is interpreted by thousands of people as Will Power. Money is being made in practically every business lon the face of the earth. Somebody is making it. You see it all around you. There is money in your business. If not, why do you stay in it? Isn’t it because you are afraid — you haven’t the will power to “take a chance” by changing jobs? It is most probable, however, that there is money in the business in which you are f Three) engaged. But you are carrying out the will-power of others. You are making someone else wealthy, someone with more will power than you possess ! Every year you learn more about your wbrk, and you earn a few dollars more per week, but what does it amount to? What will you be earning five years from now, if you don’t do something startling with your brain? Hundreds of thousands have found that their will power is their one weak spot — is the one thing that had been holding them back. It may very likely be the one thing that is holding you back. Isn’t it worth finding out, particularly at this trying time when only the men with strong dominating wills are able to forge ahead? Prof. Haddock, after twenty years of research and study, has prepared a series of rules, lessons and exercises which are scientifically designed to develop the brain faculty called will power. These rules, lessons and exercises do for your will what physical exercises do for your muscles. They are mental gymnastics, yet they are amazingly simple and easy to perform. The very first day you begin to feel like a new being. There is a new light in your eye. There is a new determination in your soul. You feel that success is just within your reach and you are going to get it. You begin to look upon life from an entirely different angle. Obstacles that looked like mountains begin to look like tiny molehills. These rules, lessons and exercises in increasing your will power, prepared by Prof. Frank Channing Haddock have been placed in book form by the Pelton Publishing Company. I am authorized to say that you need send no money in advance — that you may examine the book for five days free. In other words, if after five days reading, you do not feel that this book is worth $3, the sum asked, return it and you will owe nothing. When you receive your book for examination I suggest that you first read the articles on: the law of great thinking; how to develop analytical power; how to perfectly concentrate on any subject; how to guard against errors in thought; how to drive from the mind unwelcome thoughts; how to develop fearlessness; how to use the mind in sickness; how to acquire a dominating personality. Some few doubters will scoff at the idea of will power being the fountainhead of wealth, position and everything we are striving for. But the great mass of intelligent men and women will at least investigate for themselves by sending for the book at the publisher’s risk. I am sure that any book that has done for thousands — what “Power of Will” has done — is well worth investigating. It is interesting to note that among the 250,000 owners of “Power of Will” are such prominent men as Supreme Court Justice Parker; Wu Ting Fang, ExU. S. Chinese Ambassador; Lieut. -Gov. McKelvie, of Nebraska; Assistant Postmaster-General Britt; General Manager Christeson, of Wells-Fargo Express Co.; E. St. Elmo Lewis; Governor Arthur Capper, of Kansas, and thousands of others. In fact, today “Power of Will” is just as important, and as necessary to a man’s or woman’s equipment for success, as a dic tionary. To try to succeed without Power of Will is like trying to do business without a telephone. ^ As 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 the form below, if you prefer, addressing it to the Pelton Publishing Company, 43-S Wilcox Block, Meriden, Conn., and the book will come by return mail. This one act may mean the turning point of your life, as it has meant to so many others. You hold in your hand, this very minute, the beginning of a new era in your life. Over a million dollars has been paid by readers of “Power of Will” who sent for it on free examination. Can you, in justice to yourself, hesitate about sending in the coupon? Gan you doubt, blindly, when you can see, without a penny deposit, this wonder-book that has won fortunes for so many readers and for which a million dollars has already been paid? The cost of paper, printing and binding have almost doubled during the past three years, in spite of which “Power of Will” has not been increased in price. The publisher feels that so great a work should be kept as low-priced as possible, but in view of the enormous increase in the cost of every manufacturing item, the present edition will be the last sold at the present price. The next edition will cost more. I urge you to send in the coupon now. PELTON PUBLISHING CO. 43-S Wilcox Block Meriden, Conn* PELTON PUBUSHING CO. 43'S Wilcox Block, Meriden, Conn. I will examine a copy of ‘‘Power of Will” at your risk. I agree to remit $3 or remail the book in 5 days. Name Address City State
