PLAN No. 602. COLLEGE ON STEREOSCOPIC VIEWS
Stereoscopic views are simple, but very important when one considers that by their aid a student may defray the expenses to his coveted goal the completing of his college course.
Jim was a big raw-boned fellow from Indiana. He was a man of wonderful energy and enthusiasm. Life was new to him every minute. It seemed his difficulty was lack of new opportunities for him to show what he could do.
He had no money after paying for his books, but by waiting on table and making himself generally useful he managed the first four or five months, and then he became associated with a fellow-student who sold views and thus made his way. Jim liked pictures of travel and felt that he could easily sell such views, so he immediately obtained an outfit and started after orders—and he got them. If anyone was a friend of his they would soon hear about the views.
The following summer he went out into the farm country in Indiana. Lots of views had been sold years before in that country but that was no obstacle to him; people, he thought, must have more. His views were lit up with his own imagination. He showed the religious people views of the holy lands. Anyone who had any religion at all would yield him an order. He came back that year having cleared more than $600.
