Their excellent instruction and help enabled me to advance from one position to another rapidly, and Iam now Foreman Machinist for the Pacific Steamship Company, at a salary of $180 per month.’’ WHAT A BRICKLAYER DID. Does training pay? Can you make it pay? Ask Daniel K. Albright, 319 Mc- Kean St., Kittanning, Pa. Mr. Albright writes : ‘When working as a bricklayer at bricklayers’ wages, I was izduced to en- rollinthe I.C.S. After studying nights, through the perfect manner in which the schools carry on their instruction, I was soon able to read blueprints and was ap- pointed foreman at an increase of wages.’’ Note that the I. C. S. taught him, not to work harder, but zo vead blueprints— trained him to make his work fay. Was Mr. Albright satisfied with this advance? Being a true I. C. S. man— never! Hear the rest of his letter: ‘‘Resigning this position (foreman), I entered the employ of the Kittanning Plate Glass Company, of which firm I am now General Superintendent, and my earniugs are now nearly 600 per cent. more than when I enrolled. The I.C.S. instruction is so simple and easily under- stood that auy man may gain unspeakable good through it.’’ Knowing what he does now, how much persuasion do you think would be neces- sary to zmduce Mr. Albright to enroll with the I. C.S., if he had it to do over again? . WHAT WOULD PERSUADE YOU? If you were really awake to your own interests, how much persuasion do you think ought to be necessary to induce you to write and ask how the I.C.S. can help you? But, you say, these men are exceptions. On the contrary, they are cases picked at random out of thousands of successful 1. C. S. men. - The I. Se has gone to the trouble of putting a thousand of their names and addresses with their stories in a book, which will be sent to you for the asking. The I. C. S. organization is so perfect that it reaches, instructs and trains these men in any state of the Union or in any part of the world. Here is former street railway worker T.R. Buzzill, care of J. E. Henry & Son, Lincoln, N. H., who writes: ‘I knew nothing about electricity when I took out my course inthe I.C.S. I now have charge of the telephones and lights for J. EK.
