PLAN No. 585. RUNS BOARDING HOUSE—PAYS WAY THROUGH COLLEGE

Many young men who have had some experience in running a boarding house, put themselves through college, and often have a saving above their expenses at the end of their work.

I remember particularly two young men who did this. One ran his house on a cheap plan. He furnished board at a very low price, with no style, while the other gave more service, a little more dessert and charged a higher price.

These men employed students only who wished to earn their board in exchange for their services.
