There is an opening for a number
of workers in the rural sections of
the county.
Those who would use a car in rur-'

the work, are guaranteed actual gas

number of sales made.
This is not a "commission propo-
sition,” but one in which a cer-
tain amount of sincere and determ- i
ined work will be paid for at a lib-
eral rate.
The campaign was announced the
latter part of the week, but due to
the interruption of the week end,
only a small number of sales have
been reported.
