YOU HAVE A STORY
We Have the Money You have a story or you wouldn’t be alive. Write it down. You have had adventures, or you would not be human. Turn them into money. You have seen and heard strange things or you are blind and deaf. We are in the market for them. And this is not a LITERARY competition. It is an appeal to experience, If it happened, and you remember it, you can tell it. But you don’t have to tell it in the language of Shakespeare. You don’t have to be clever or to have read a lot of books. You have to be natural and simple and sincere. Use a fictitious name if you don’t wish to reveal yourself, Conceal the place, and be as discreet as you like about the circumstances, But tell us the story and we shall pay you for it if we use it. Get it into a thousand words. Write or type on one side of the paper. Enclose a stamped and addressed envelope if you want us to return the MS. But don’t think that you are too ordinary to have a story, and too simple to tell it. The simple will collect most of our guineas.
