Lucille Brown, Weir & McCool, Miss]] DEAR MADAM: We are delighted to have the pleasure of enrolling your name with us as an agent for "PORO" and herewith send to you your Diploma, trusting that it may assist you in accomplishing all that has been promised you, which is an established business. Now, I am quite sure that it will, if you will always do your work thoroughly. Be sure to get all the Dandruff off the scalp good before attempting to shampoo the hair. It is well to look over your work for this purpose. Then divide the hair into four twists and shampoo each one carefully, making the parts very close together and keeping the hair combed well, so as not to allow it to tangle, then use plenty soap, so as to get it perfectly clean. When each twist is clean, use plenty water and rinse all suds out good, and dry the hair perfectly dry before attempting to press it. Do not use the irons too hot, and press the hair good at the scalp and ends, so as not to leave any roughness. Never rush so much as to slight any of these points, not even if a customer should be in a hurry and ask you to do so, for they will be the first to say that you are half doing your work and soon stop taking the treatment and keep their friends from coming to you. Do not try to treat too many in one day, our rule is: If we only treat one scalp in a day we do that one thoroughly, thus we are sure to have plenty to do - It is better to have them call another day. Never sell a box of "PORO" Hair Grower to any one unless you treat their scalp and hair for them, and do not sell a box of the "PORO" Hair Grower and "PORO" Pressing Oil, at all, as the people would try to treat their scalps and not come to you, thus leaving you without any business. Keep to the rule and prices that the other agents have for the work. By so doing we suceed, otherwise we fail. In making another agent the first thing to do is to send for the application blanks. Have her read them, then fill correctly. If territory is satisfactory, Mrs. A. M. Pope-Turnbo will sign and return one to you with contracts. If at any time you should wish any information just write me, and I will willingly aid you. Following are agents prices: "PORO" Hair Grower, 25c per box, or $3.00 per dozen "PORO" Temple Grower 25c ""[[dittos for: per box]] 3.00 "[[ditto for: per dozen]] "PORO" Temple Grower, Double Strength for thin and bald temples (two boxes equal one of regular size) 25c 1.50 "[[ditto for: per dozen]] "PORO" Hair Grower (Liquid form for oily hair) 25c per bottle, or ^[[$]] 3.00 "[[ditto for: per dozen]] "PORO" Pressing Oil ^[[60c]] [[strikethrough]] 75c [[/strikethrough]] per box, or ^[[6.00]] [[strikethrough]] 8.00 [[/strikethrough]] "[[ditto for: per dozen]] Large Irons, 75c.
