Scranton. Pa, Nov. u, 1881
My Dear Sir: one word with you've
take it for granted that you are interest
cd in your trade and in your future Are
you satisfied with your work in its pres
Cnt condition? Are you getting a COM
piete mastery of your trade? DO you un-
derstand the reason Of things? Can you
make detailed drawings of the different
parts of a building Can you do roofing
work and understand it? Can you build
stairs and do a perfect job? Contractors
and builders are asking all the time for
better workmen. The men who are build
ing houses in this city today, are calling
for better work. The future Is bound to
demand better work Better buildings
and better work are going to mean higher
wages. Are you preparing yourself 20
meet the demand and get the wages?

carpentry will meet a need which IS al
ready felt among the carpenters of this
city, and which will be felt more and
more in the future. We propose to start
