The story of two men who started side by side HEY CAME UP thru school together and started work in the same office at a few dollars a week. Those were joyous, care-free days. They lunched at cheap restau- rants; they saved enough for a ball game Saturday after- noon or the theatre Saturday night. The years stretched out far ahead. Without thinking very definitely about the fu- ture, they knew that sometime “things would break”’ if only they did their work and kept their health. So for three years they moved along evenly, receiving petty salary increases and en- joying the thrill of the new game. They met two young women and became engaged. Then along in their fourth business year, there came a change. One said: ‘After all, this business game is pretty tough. It’s a fight. I wonder what I can do about it.” He insured himself against failure He found in the Alexander Hamilton Institute a definite plan of business reading which gave him a new im- pulse and new self-confidence. As an extra locomotive, hitched to a train, makes its power felt from the first moment, he was conscious immedi- ately that a new, fresh force was at work for his business and financial progress. He talked to his friend about it, and the friend was interested. “Prob- ably a good thing,” he said, in his easy-going way. But the matter never went further, and gradually the two found that their interests were diverging. Both were working harder than ever. But one was think- ing; and in the office the executives watched them both and saw that one of them did think. So one man began to forge ahead Ten years passed, and somewhat to their surprise they found themselves at the threshold of middle age. One of them has arrived. He has experi- enced the big satisfaction of succeed- ing while he is still young. The other still works and wonders, and does not quite under- stand. Ten years look long, but they pass with almost un- believable rapidity. Will you, in justice to yourself, spend fifteen minutes with the question: “Where will I be in business ten years from now?” Ma send you a little book called “A Definite Plan for Your Business Progress”—an inter- esting book of facts and letters? This book is yours for the asking When you have read it quietly, without pressure or haste, you may decide that the Institute has some- thing of value to offer you. This may be true if you are president of a corporation (more than 27,000 presi- dents and business heads have fol- lowed the Course and are enthusi- astic about it). It may be equally true if you are at the very beginning of your career, for among the 200,000 men enrolled are some whose busi- ness position and salary were pre- cisely like yours. But whether you decide to go further or not depends entirely on yourself. The facts will come with- out obligation or cost. Simply fill in the coupon—but do it today!
