Everybody's Magazine, August 1925

This August 1925 issue of Everybody's Magazine contains "Three Stories of Lure of the Sea," though the OCR is too degraded to discern details of individual narratives. The issue features a testimonial article by A. H. Ward titled "Men Who Want More Money Will Listen to This Man," describing his career change into salesmanship. Ward recounts earning $13,500 in his first year after leaving railway mail service, and credits the National Salesmen's Training Association's free book "Modern Salesmanship" for his success. He cites other success stories—W. Hartle, Berry, Kearns, Wynn, and Miller—each claiming substantial first-month earnings. The piece argues salesmanship operates by learnable principles rather than innate talent, and concludes by encouraging readers to request the free instructional book from Association president J. E. Greenslade. The article is accompanied by a response coupon.
