The International Association of Distributors ,

Is an organization of honest, earnest men, who follow house-to-house dis* *
tributing for a livelihood. They are banded together chiefly for the purpose
of driving scamp distributors who have brought so much discredit on the
calling, out of the business.

TTHE service of each individual member
is guaranteed by all the rest of the
members. This guarantee is a good guar-
antee. It a just as good as the bond of a
trust company or a bank. All claims un-
der the guarantee have been promptly met
and paid in full. And this fact entitles the
association to a standing enjoyed by no
other trade organization.

pVERY distributor who is a member of
the International Association of Dis-
tributors, bas to be a pretty good sort of a
man and able to prove it. He has to give
references, and the men he refers to must
assert that he is honest, trustworthy and

Sometimes a "bad one" slips in, but he
is soon spotted and expelled, and this
keeps the ranks clean.

The association, as a whole, and its members individually, deserve the greatest
consideration at the hands of advertisers who utilize house-to-house work in adver-
tising. Hny advertiser who actually desires honest work, and patronizes non-mem-
bers to the hurt of I. H. D. members, is injuring not only the association but himself as
well.

Many experienced advertisers consider the 8-sheet poster just the right
size, claiming that it is large enough to properly display everything they could
want to say on a poster ; and the" price of poster and of the posting
is jnst half the cost of the 16-sheet. Others claim there is no economy as
double the number are needed. - My opinion is that they are a very good
size especially for cities of less than 100,000 population. I will make 2,000
8-sheet posters in 4 colors for 24 cents each. (3 cents per sheet). I will post
1,000 8-sheets in the following cities : Chattanooga. Savannah, Charleston,
Memphis, Lowell. Rich menu:. Los Angeles, Evansvillc, Grand Rapids,
Lexington, DesMoines, Nashville. Dubuque, Portland, Ore., listed, pro-
tected, renewed and guaranteed, at an average price of 60 cents each per
month. (And any part of the service that is unsatisfactory, won't cost a cent. )
