The box cover hides the purple padding on the inside lid of the carrying case. The case itself sets the box off in fine style. The sample case, as shown, is not furnished with each box, but is furnished with the sample and coupon offers made below. When you call on your customer with this neat sample case, which you can carry under your arm, open it up and show the purple padded lid and the gorgeous cover of the BON TON TEN, which looks like it was tied up with green satin ribbon, you immediately have the woman's attention. She is curious to know what it contains and you will surely hold her attention until the cover is removed and the array of our fine toilet goods will dazzle her eyes. If she ever coveted anything in her life, she will covet this package and when at the end of your spiel you state she can have it all for the low price of $1.00, you can almost knock her down with a feather. Give her time to recover herself and the $1.00 will be yours in a jiffy, even if she has to borrow it from a neighbor. Quantity and quality considered, this is an amazing offer for the price of $1.00 which we place in your hands for 45e.
SPECI AL OFFER To give you a start on{the BON TON TEN, we will send you 23 boxes, allowing you the 100 box price, which would amount to $10.25, and a display case, worth $1.00 free for $10.
