ROBERT S. SEEDS
of BIRMINGHAM, PA.
The Man with
Three Messages
HOW GOD MADE THE SOIL FERTILE
INFLUENCE OF THE HOME
MISTAKES OF LIFE EXPOSED
CHAUTAUQUA MANAGERS' ASSOCIATION,
630 ORCHESTRA BUILDING, CHICAGO, ILL.
BOB SEEDS was in the wholesale, retail and transfer business in Tyrone, Pa. He lost his health and bought an old, worn out, rundown and abandoned farm, moved out on it (where he now lives), redeemed it and has sold many bushels of soil at $1.50 per bushel. The State of Pennsylvania engaged him to go out over the state and tell the story, and from that he has been pushed on to the lecture platform.
Easiest story in the world told. Bob has three lectures. How God made the Soil Fertile,Influence of the Home and Mistakes of Life Exposed. First, the way he makes his money. The second, the way he tries to live. The third, his religion.
Bob says a man who can make some money, have a first-class home, with sense enough to enjoy it, and have a good religion, has the ground covered as well as any multi-millionaire can cover it.
Bob has lived these lectures, they are part of him, so he just talks 'till he talks long enough and then quits, and he seems to know when to quit.
Bob offers $100.00 for any committeeman or newspaperman he ever approached for a commendation, or for any requested, solicited, doctored or not genuine.
