My first stop was to borrow a car from a heaven-sent friend ... and then I took the big step: a $1,500 investment in SaverShower products ($1,300 of which went toward salable stock ... an average one-week supply). And with my 15 years of sales and sales-management experience, I was soon In business with a $2,390 gross return.
Of late I spend about three days a week selling ... and devote the remainder of my time working toward the expansion of my enterprise. My average income has been $125 per day ... with a record "worst day" of $50, and several record "best days" of $1,000.
But, my business has been going so well that I can no longer cover the territory alone. The SaverShower needs local representatives ... and so I'm writing to you, MOTHER. Since last June I've saved my state In excess of 20 million gallons of water ... half of It heated. Is anyone out there interested in doing the same for his or her locale? If so, I can help! I'm anxiously waiting to set you up In a business that can provide a good living and—at the same time—save some of our earth's valuable resources!

When my second child was born I decided there was no way to continue my full-time job and take care of a pair of youngsters under two years old. But my husband and I needed every penny we could save If we were ever to accumulate enough money to purchase a homestead in the country, so I wracked my brain for a solution that would allow me to work at home (with a limited amount of outside "running around") and set my own hours.
I turned to MOTHER for Inspiration, and—while thumbing through a pile of back issues—I came across an article In No. 37 (page 82) entitled "Quilts Are Worth the Effort". I had always admired my grandmother's homemade quilts ... and I enjoyed choosing fabrics and piecing patterns together. I was aware, too, that there was a growing market for old-time crafts ... but I knew from past experience that people just won't pay enough to justify the time Involved In hand needlework.
