I housands of Scout Groups have easily and quickly
earned from $100 to $5,000 with SYLVANIA LIGHT BULBS.
Successful results are being reported from groups all over
the country because light bulbs, unlike other items, are al-
ways needed. That's one reason a few hours of house-to-
house canvassing cleared over $1,800 in Kingston, Pa.,
and a complete stock of 10,000 bulbs was sold out in just
two hours in Bowling Green, Ky. Here are some other big
reasons why SYLVANIA BULBS would make a great fund-
raiser for your group.
EASY TO SELL—Everyone uses light bulbs. They literally
sell themselves and nothing sells easier than nationally
advertised SYLVANIA LIGHT BULBS.
HANDY CARRY-ALL CASE—Especially designed for fund
raising. A case contains 20 packs, each with a popular
household assortment of 6 Sylvania Bulbs: two 60, two 75,
and two 100 watts. Each pack sells for $2.25—45c below
the suggested retail price to make your sale even easier!
NO RISK—Sylvania Light Bulbs guarantee a profit without
risk or investment. Your light bulbs are sent to you with all
freight charges paid by America's Best. Any unsold cases
may be returned within 30 days prepaid for full credit less
a nominal charge of one dollar per case for reinspection
and handling.
MORE PROFIT—Each case sells for $45.00. You keep
$1 2.50 per case. PLUS, you receive a bonus case (worth
$45.00) for every 5 cases ordered and sold within 30
days. Thus, if you order 5 cases, we will ship you 6. You
keep the entire $45.00 from the sale of the bonus case,
which, when added to your other profits, makes the NET
PROFIT ON A 5 CASE ORDER ZOOM TO $21.50 PER CASE
OR 47.5% of the retail value of your order.
PLUS CASH PRIZES—for your top salesmen or more
profits for your treasury. With each 20 case order you re-
ceive an additional $1.00 per case. THIS MAKES YOUR
RETAIL PROFIT JUMP TO $450 or 50% of the retail value
of your order. To qualify, simply make payment in full
within 30 days after you receive it.
