vicinity, where heretofore we were obliged to send a petective from
our nearest Agency entailing expense which otherwise would have

been saved if we had ap Agent nearer at hand acquaintjjBd with the the

We offers'you the position as Detectivejand ask

The pay ranges from $3 to $5 per day and expenses in

civil cases, and from $5 to $10 per day and expenses in criminal
cases, according to the nature of the business.

The duties are simple and will be fully explained in detail
in each case.

The acceptance of the appointment would not interfere

with any other occupation you may have, on the contrary, we prefer

that you have other business so that the public may not suspect you
to be a Detective, as secrecy is very essential.

Awaiting your immediate reply, we remain.
