MONEY MADE QUICK.

^"I^UKRK is great complaint among young men that they caunot get employment that will remunerate them (or their services.

To such, the subscriber would call attention to a safe, pleasant and very profitable business, by which, without any risk, the capital invested can be doubled every three months, and by a little extra exertion every two moths. Agents are wanted in every city and town in the Union—you cannot overstock the market, and there is always a ready sale.

Circulars containing a full and accurate description of the business, and all matters pertaining thereto, will be sent free of expense to any address, on application by letter or otherwise to SAMUEL SWAN,
