HERE'S WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT HOW SYLVANIA BULBS SELL
Portland, Maine—Our light bulb sale has been very successful. On just
two evenings of selling, we made over $1200.

selling the light bulbs for approximately six days, and already we have
brought in about $1000.
Cedar Rapids, Iowa —We sold out completely 2 days after we received
our first delivery and have re-ordered. We are very happy with the results
of this project.

Please RUSH me 20 more cases. We need these immediately. The speed

Adairsville, Georgia —America's Best is right! We held our sale on Oct. 6
and on the first night sold more than enough to pay for them.
Jacksonville, Illinois—Our light bulb sale was a complete success . . . We
plan on making it a yearly sale.
Boulder, Colorado—The sale went real good. In fact, towards the end the

good acceptance by the public.

plete success. It has been a pleasure doing business with your company

every bulb in about 2 hours by house to house canvass.
