Show rui i mi (SJ 9wfmg firm William Nickerson, HOW ) K is- - TURNED first book was BEFORE my four years ago telling how I had made a fortune in real estate, mostly in my spare time five publishers turned the book down. They all said I had succeeded only .because I started during the that nobody William Nickerson Depression could do the same thing to day because the same opportunities no longer exist! When those publishers said "it can't be done any more," I had only half a million dollars, and no intentions of increasing my estate. But I got fighting mad, and decided to prove the skeptics wrong. I went out on the current real estate market, shopped exclusively from ads that realtors put in metropolitan papers. And in two years 1 doubled my net estate to over a million dollars. So before my first book went to press I was able to add new material, to scrap the original title 'The Realty Road to Riches," and retitle it How I Turned $1000 Into a Million. Perhaps you are one of the almost half a million people who read that book. Maybe you are one of the hundreds of fortunate men and women who have put my principles into practice, and are now well along the road to financial independence. Or perhaps, like the five publishers I mentioned, you doubt that you can do the same thing today that did then. If that's the case, then it is for you that I have written my new book, just published. It is called How To Make A Fortune Today-starti- ng from scratch! You Can Still Make a Fortune In Real Estate Today! In the past two years, thousands of people have asked for my advice. "How can I save a nest egg to start investing, when all I have now is a goose egg?" "Can an ordinary person like myself achieve success?" "With only $2,500 saved, how can I pyramid to a million dollars?" And the big question on everybody's mind : "Is it still possible to succeed today?" Believe me when I answer with an unqualified "YES!" You can still find and capitalize on many opportunities all around you. And I want to show you how! In my new book I tell you, in detail, exactly what you need to know to succeed in real estate NOW . . . and I answer specifically the countless questions that have been fired at me from all over the world, the same questions that you too probably wouldtlike to ask.
