One current job for a contractor, for instance, runs $350 a day with a minimum guarantee of four days plus a $1500 bonus when the well comes in. The contractor, who has already invested considerable sums in very deep and very dry holes, is extremely pleased with these terms.

And if the well doesn't come in?

If the well doesn't come in, there's no charge for Hap's services. That's as ironclad a guarantee as there is and it's bringing in business to Jamieson—who works out of an office on his homestead—at a better-than-$1,000-per-week clip.

Business has been so good and the Aquatometer is now so well proven that Hap is sharing the wealth in at least two ways: (1) For $5,000 to $10,000—depending on the territory you choose—he'll set you up in an identical business of your own or (2) For $2,000 to $4,000 Jamieson will form a 50-50 corporation with you . . . and then give you back $500 of your money plus $500 of his own—for operating capital—and split all income 65% to you and 35% to him. And, if that's not fair enough, he'll even let you have the first deal for only $1,500 down and he'll carry the rest of the initial investment himself at less than bank rates.

"We've got something good here," Hap says, "and I want to make it easy for ambitious fellows who'll work with me to get in on the deal. Sure, I expect to make a little for setting someone up with an instrument and teaching him how to use it. That's only fair. But I'm certainly not being greedy. Heck, a guy can easily earn back the franchise fee for a whole state with only one or two big jobs. What other business offers an opportunity like that?"

What other business indeed . . . one thousand dollars or more a week, working outdoors, from a home office, virtually when and where you choose, for folks who believe your services are one big bargain.

Can all that be true . . . or is there a catch somewhere? You can decide for yourself by writing:

G.L. Jamieson, President
Accurate Water Location, Inc. Dept. ME
Rt. 376
Poughkeepsie, New York 12603

And, as they say, choice locations are going fast!
