PLAN No. 600. SOLD ALUMINUM WARE SUMMERS AND PAID UNIVERSITY EXPENSES
A tall, slender chap, whom I at first thought to be a rich man’s son, told me that he had that summer made $550. On inquiring I found he sold aluminum ware during the summer in Illinois. He not only worked in the cities but in the country as well. He would find some housewife in the city who would permit him to give a demonstration of his aluminum ware cooking utensils. He would then get this lady to invite in a number of her friends to see the demonstration. For this he would make a gift of some one of his wares to the one who had favored him. He was enabled to show the value of his wares and made many sales. A series of such demonstrations in the various homes soon established the reputation of his goods and created a good demand for them.
Through this plan he paid all college expenses, and had a small sum to start in business with at the close of his college course.
PLAN No. 601. CHAMPIONING RELIGIOUS DOCTRINE PUT HIM THROUGH THE UNIVERSITY
There are a great many different religious sects in our country, and from our colleges and universities these sects obtain material that will assist their causes.
Two of my friends at the university took a law and literary course covering a period of six years. They were good speakers and had very strong leaning toward certain religious beliefs. They made a very close study of same until they became very valuable exponents for their denominations. They were sent out on special lecturing trips and all the time they could spare was put in at active work along that line. The compensation they received from this work more than financed their university course.
They obtained unusual experience in public speaking, which was later to prove a great asset to them in legal work.
A man who is an able speaker on matters concerning the law, and who is a champion of certain religious ideals can go into any community and in a few weeks will be better known and more highly regarded than men who have passed a life time there.
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.
