THE ARGOSY—ADVERTISING SECTION. THE DIFFERENCE between you and the other fellow is training A RE you always wondering why the ‘“‘other fellow” gets ahead and 3 i 3 you don’t—why he gets more pay every year and you don’t—why _he has the confidence and respect of the “‘boss” and you have not? There is only one answer—you are not a trained man. Your employer may value your services. But your services are probably worth only what he pays—no more. Analyze yourself. Then analyze the other fellows who have been pro- moted above you. Youare their equal in natural ability, in character, and in personality; but in education, in training, they are your superiors. You are untrained. They are trained. Because they are trained their services are worth more. They are competent to hold positions of responsibility; you are competent to perform only a clerk’s or laborer’s duties. They earn from $2,500 to $10,000 a year; your limit is $20.00 a week, or less. Thousands of men and women are working for small wages because they are not trained. How many would secure the necessary training if they knew where to get it 7 and that the cost of obtaining it was within their reach? If you are one of these ambi- f tious people who want more pay and a better job, the American-School will tell you how you can become trained without giving up your present position, without leaving -home; just in your spare time, and without tedious study. The American School of Correspondence was established fifteen years ago for the 2 benefit of ambitious men everywhere. The American School makes it possible to ps obtain the education and training you need without leaving home or giving up work. < 4 The American School brings a college course and special training to you right in your own home, no matter where you live.
