—— ADVERTISING SECTION. “The Job is Yours- On One Condition! “For a long time I watched the new men who came into this busi- ness. Some stood still—stayed right where they started. Others climbed ~ —-made each job a stepping stone to something better. “Now, what was the difference? Well, I investigated and | found out.

The chief designer rose from the bottom in the drafting room. “All of these men won their advance- ments through spare time study with the International Correspondence Schools. Today they are earning four or five times—yes, some of them ¢ez times as much money as when they came with us. “So out of this experience we have formed a policy. We are looking for men who care enough about their future not only to do their present work well, but to devote part of their spare time to preparation for advancement. “And I'll give you this job on one condition—that you take up a course of special training along the tine of your work.
