The Billboard SEPTEMBER 16, 1911. WILL BE A YOU LUCKY DUFFER v¢ This is no crap game, or get rich quick, or gold brick schb High Pitch Fakers---for Fairs, Carnivals, Paddle Wheels! ’ THREE TIMES WE HAVE OFFERED You this proposition in a double-page lay-out, and each time you have passed it up, while others have taken our tip and jocated a part of that proverbial “Pot of Gold at the End of the Rainbow.” Nab it now and GIVE YOUR MONEY A CHANCE TO MAKE GOOD. Can’t You See a Young Gold Mine in This | at $1.00 a Throw ? This leaves 60 cents profit, which is the kind of a margin a crew manager wants and needs. We have fellows sclling 20, 30, 40 and as high as 60 boxes a day alone. Of course, with a crew it all depends on the nen and the number. You Ought to See that New, Gorgeous Box Top—Just Out! It, certainly is an eye opener. Our motto is “Gvods well shown are half sold.” Not only flashy lithographed labels for the bottles, powder boxes and wrappers for the soap, all in six bright colors and gold, but we finish it uff with this bright, attractive box top with plenty of gold, which makes it look rich. You may be more interested in the show for your money than in real value, but we wish to say here that the wey is there. Each atid every articlé will give satisfaction. BUT HOW CAN WE DO IT? Because we have a big factory; because we buy right in large quantities; because we have a whopper of an output. We do not want to double our money, but are satisfied with a cent or two net profit on each box to salt away for ourselves. Nothing has ever made such a gigantic success as our combination packages. We have them from 10 cents to 75 cents. Our Shampoo Combination for 15 cents for four years has had a most phenomenal success. You may recall our three prev ious double-page ads in special issues of “The Billboard,” showing up our “HALF-YARD OF SOAP FOR 18 CENTS.” This catchy phrase was talked of from Coast to Cuast as a clever advertising expression. This eight-har box (half-yard) with 8-inch tension shears for 10 cents extra, for two years has had a wonderful run. Value of Contents OF LUCKY ‘LEVEN.
