"How I Improved My Memory in One Evening" is a testimonial article by Victor Jones describing his encounter with David M. Roth, a memory expert, and his subsequent experience with Roth's memory-training course published by the Independent Corporation. Jones recounts meeting Roth at a hotel banquet where the expert remarkably recalled the names, occupations, and phone numbers of sixty guests he had met hours earlier. Jones documents his own improvement using the course's seven lessons, claiming he learned to memorize and recall lists of one hundred words within an hour. The article includes testimonials from trial lawyer Terence J. McManus and Montreal businessman H. O. "Multigraph" Smith, both praising the course's effectiveness. The piece functions as promotional material, offering the course on free examination with a five-day trial period.
