MONEY MADE QUICK

TNSFTE

is great complaint among young men that they cannot get employment that "will remunerate them for their services. To such, th« 8iibfcriber would call attention to a safe, pleasant and very profitable bu«i' ness.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 sal*.

Circulars containing a full and accurate description of the business, and all matters" pertaining thereto, will bo sent free of expense to any addreiss, on application bv letter or otherwise to S A AIUEL SWA N,
