CAN YOU MAKE NECKTIES?

To convince yourself of the tremendous profit in making and selling neckties, just get the price of a yard of necktie silk, and see how many dollar neckties you can make out of it.

Did you ever examine a necktie? It is the simplest thing in the world to make.

Buy enough silk to make about twelve patterns. Use these for samples to show business men. They will sell like hot cakes. You can make 50 cents per tie profit. As your business grows, hire girls to make ties, and employ pretty, neat girls to take orders.
