The Best is Yet to Come

The Salvation of a Sucker
You Can't Get Something for Nothing

These booklets by Ralph Parlette are short stories adapted from
chapters in "The University of Hard Knocks."

John C. Carroll, President of the Hyde Park State Bank of Chicago,
bought 1000 copies of the booklet "It's Up to You!" and of it he says,
"Parlette's Beans and Nuts is just as good as the Message to Garcia and
will be handed around just us much. I have handed the book to business
men, to young fellows, bond salesmen and such, to our own vice
president, and they all want another copy to send to some friend. I
would rather be author of it than president of the bank."

Employers in every line of business are buying quantities of "It's Up
to You!" for their workers.

William Jennings Bryan says of the booklet "Go On South": "It is one of
the great stories of the day."

Charles Grilk of Davenport, says: "My two children and I read the
Mississippi River story together and we were thoroly delighted."

Instruct us to send one of these booklets to your friends. It will
delight them more than any small present you can make.
