The "Booster's Club" is Not for "Dead Ones"

You are cordially invited to join the “BOOSTER'S CLUB" so that you may assist in a uniform, happy, broad-minded, intelligent and persistent movement to extend the use and push the sale of honey. Your own honey first, all honey incidentally.

Our members will advise one another of their successes and failures-plan new uses for honey-devise efficient selling schemes for advertising it, and support them. We will applaud when we like, kick when we feel disposed, suggest what appeals, and all smile together as we gather in the extra money dividends that are bound to accrue from the boosting.

The BOOSTER will carry this message to every member each month. Every number will feature good and efficient selling schemes. You will want them all. Wrap a quarter in paper and enclose it with your name and address, at our risk, for one year's subscription. $1.00 for five years.

Under any circumstances, weed out your poor stock.
