"Well, I've got a small capital, and that's just the kind of business I want."
"You're rather young. Have you ever been in business?"
"I should think I had. I've been in business for six or seven years."
"You must have begun young. What kind of business?"
"The boot and shoe business, mostly," answered our hero; "but I was in the periodical business for awhile."
"Well, if you've got experience, you can succeed in our business. How much capital have you?"
"Tell me about the business first."
"Well, it's the perfumery business. We've got up a new and superior kind of perfumery, which we sell by agents. I want to find some one to take charge of the office while I travel and solicit orders. You can take care of the office, can't you?"
"What's the wages?"
"Twenty dollars a week."
