THE ARGOSY—ADVERTISING SECTION. have been able to get above the pit work im the power house, if tt was not for the instruction received from the I. C. S.’’ Another New Englander, Harry E. Green, Waterville, Me., a former transit- man, writes : ‘*T now have an office of my own and have increased my earnings 200 per cent. My course has made me more valuable to. my customers, and I have been enabled to understand manythings which I could not have learned otherwise. I will gladly cor- respond with anyone desiring to better himself by taking a Course.’’ Henri B. Bixler, Akron, Ohio, a former mill-hand in a screen-door factory, testifies : ‘*T have advanced to Superintendent of Construction of the Tri-County Tele- phone Company, and have increased my earnings 250 per cent. All this success I attribute to the I. C. S. I consider this method of instruction the dest plan in existence for the young man who has his own way to make in the world.’’ A SURE AND QUICK WAY. The I. C. S. gives a man who has no regular trade or profession a paying start. Before enrolling with the fF. C. S., Harry M. Moxley, 564 Prospect Street, Cleve- land, Ohio, was office boy, farmer boy, and painter by turns. He writes: ‘* After I had gone a short way in my Course, the Students’ Aid Department se- cured for me a position with a firm in Cleveland, and from that time I have had steady advancement up to my present position as chemist with the Cleveland Steel Casting Company. During this time I increased my earnings $80a month. My experience with the Schools proves that the I. C. S. plan is the most sure and guick way for any ambitious man to gain advancenient and increased earn- ings.”’ The Students’ Aid Department, which helped Mr. Moxley to obtain a higher position, is organized specifically to assist all I. C. S. men in their efforts to make their work pay. Its connection with the largest employers of trained men in the country has enabled it to place thousands of men in better positions at larger salaries. During 1906, voluntary reports were received from 8376 I. C. S. men who had been advanced in salary or position —only a fraction of the thousands who were advanced and did not report. What the I. C. S. did for them, it can and will do for you. ARE YOU GETTING YOURS? This is an era of unexampled wealth. These dozen men named are just a few of the thousands whom the I. C. S. has helped to place in the stream of prosperity. They are ¢vained to get their share, and are getting it. Are you getting yours? If not, why not? It’s waiting for you! | The I. C. S. points the way, but you must take the initiative. The first step is yours. The expression of willingness must come from you. Are you willing to write to the I. C. S. and ask to be shown how to make your work pay? Or are you content to sit back with small wages and let your companions, who work no harder than you, walk off with all the rewards ? Bear in mind, no man need leave his own state, or town, or work. Right where he is, the I. C. S. is most valuable. /¢ goes to the man, stands by him, works with him and for him, equipping him to secure that due share to which his energy and talents entitle him.
