THE ARGOSY—ADVERTISING SECTION. Earn from 32529 to 2100-22 a week Some of our students were $10—-$12—and $15 a week men in various lines of business—stenographers, clerks, book- keepers, salesmen, etc. They greatly increased their salaries and many of them outstripped even our high expectations by jumping into the ranks of $10,000.00 men in less than a year after graduating. Some of our students were what you might call big-salaried men when they enrolled—already in the $10,000.00 a year class; but a knowledge of advertising made it possible for them to double and treble their incomes. The amount of your present income has nothing to do with the value of our in- struction to you. It all depends upon the use you will make of our training. Advertisement writers make from $25.00 to $100.00 a week, AND THE KNOWLEDGE WILL INCREASE ANY MAN'S ABILITY 25% to 100%. Mr. C. L. Buschmann, of Indianapolis, had a minor interest in a small factory ; our course of training showed him how he might turn this small interest into a large one. He used his advertising knowledge to such good effect that he was able to reorganize with a capital stock of $75,000.00 and is now Vice-President and Man- ager of the firm, which is doing a tremendous business. A country school teacher out in Washington,—Mr. A. W. Arm- strong,—made up his mind to benefit by our instructions, and he is now Advertising Manager for the McCarthy Dry Goods Co., of Seattle, on $1800.00 a year. A drug clerk in the obscure little town of Del Monte, Cal.,—Mr. Everet T. Mateer,—chose to make something of himself, studied with us, and’ less than a year later, went flying to New York to accept a splendid position with the M. P. Gould Co.—another $1800.00 a year man. A window trimmer in Fond du Lac, Wisc.,—Mr. J. W. Fisk,—decided he ought to be worth more than $75 a month to his firm—his salary as a window trimmer—took our course, and is now their efficient Advertising Manager, and in the $1800.00 a year class. A young farmer in Michigan,—Mr. C. V. R. Fullen- wider, —made up his mind to improve on his $1.50 a-day- and-board record, studied this course all winter and the next fall secured a splendid position as Advertising Manager with a large furniture store in Grand Rapids, Mich. It isn’t necessary to go on listing these successes indefi- nitely—if you are interested in bettering your financial condition, you will WRITE FOR OUR LARGE, HANDSOME PROSPECTUS, which tells all about our students’ rapid advancement, and which lays the whole advertising field plainly and interestingly before you. TAUGHT BY MAIL in your spare hours. Write while the subject is fresh in your mind.
