A smart method of pushing business is adopted in America by an Ohio firm of " sales agents." Cards similar to our "reply" post-cards are sent out, and in the middle of one is firmly stuck a cent piece. Why it is stuck on the card at all appears from the printed matter on the card, which says: —"Herewith please find one cent, in return for which please yield one minute of your valuable ■. time." And then there comes a description of the' goods the " sales agents " have for , disposal. One cent does not ; seem much at the first blush, but it works out, as the card does not fail to indicate, at £1000 per annum, so. the rate of pay leaves no room for grumbling-sunder the circumstances., "■'■
