CHOOSING A CAREER.

Iitere, ting Articl by Senator John
f. Dryden Pr :. -f the Prudential
Choosing a career for young men to
follow has always been a matter of in
terest and Importance to parents as well
as to the young men themselves. As the
great majority of young men entering
business life have little to invest except
their brains and enthusiasm, the ques-
.tion has always been, what business
can be entered with the greatest pros
pect for future success, requiring the in
vestment of little or no capital at the
beginning?
United States Senator John T. Dry
den, Of New Jersey, one of the most
prominent and successful business men
of the country, and the man who first
infSaduced Industrial Life Insurance into
the United States, has written an inter-
esting and timely article on the oppor-
tunities which Life Insurance offers as a
career for men starting in business.
The article has been printed in a
handsome little brochure by The Pru-
Dental Insurance Company of America,
Of which Senator Dryden is the Presi-
dent, and as tnat Company gives employ
ment to more than 10000 people, sena-
tor Dryden can be said to speak with
authority.
An important thought in reading Sen
ator Dryden's article is that his remarks
apply with the same force to men in
middle age as they do to young men
The article is worth reading by all men,
young and old, andsa copy Of the booklet
will be sent upon request to the Hone
