"How An Oliver Agency Made My Whole Business Grow —
"I own a bookstore in a town of 11,000 people. Three years ago I became the local agent for the Oliver Typewriter Company. It was a lucky day for me. Not merely because I have sold one Oliver for every fifty inhabitants in this town, and made the large commission, but because I became a part of the Oliver sales organization. That means that the company has given me advantages which I could not have gained elsewhere. In other words, they enrolled me in their sales school and gave me a new business education. They told me how other men had made successes and how to avoid common difficulties. The Oliver traveling representatives came to see me and gave me additional pointers. They gave me a bigger and broader vision of modern business, and I learned the value of getting ideas from others. With some of my first earnings I took a trip to Chicago to visit the general offices and to get a lot of ideas from the big bookstores in the city.
"All this experience has been of great value to me and I now do the biggest business in a town of this size for many states around. Oliver gave me the big idea and I have applied it not only to the Oliver agency but in my own line."
This is merely one of many stories that might be told by Oliver agents. Others will tell of the things they have bought with Oliver commissions. Some might tell how the Oliver paid for a college education. Thousands of Oliver agents in all parts of the country have shared in the millions of
dollars earned in commissions. The new Oliver Nine is a big seller and makes lots of friends. Hundreds of thousands of Olivers are in use.
