REPORT OF REMINGTON PEOPLE ON TOPIC
OFders the Company - Unable TO

Men Are Not 90 BE
Found.

Much has been said recently concerning
the great demand for young men in the
stenographic profession and the excellent
opportunities for advancement in every
line of business which this demand offers
20 capable and ambitious youths.
We are indebted to the Remington Type
writer company for an array Of facts on
this subject which deserves the careful
attention and study OF every young man
who is just starting out in life.
The source from which this Information
comes gives II peculiar weight.
II is well known that the Remington
Typewriter company annually helps more
stenographers of both sexes to secure
positions than any other medium in ex-
istence. This is done through the free en-
poyment departments which are main
tanned in connection with Remington offices
everywhere. The magnitude OF the opera
tions of the Remington Typewriter employ
ment department may be gathered from
the fact that in the year 1893 It helped no
less than Z, 7g5 operators to secure positions
in New York city alone, G,l2l in Chiago,
2,033 in st. Louis, 1,5S6 In Philadelphia, l,i5O
in Boston, 1.27O in Kansas city, lbs in
Pittsburg and 1.1S6 ia San Francisco, while
in every one OF the Remington Offices aud
sub-ofices IN cigity-thrce cities of the
United States anu 'ttatuAlf W say lAbNlilll5
of the many Remington Offices IN foreign
countries, employment departments are
conducted on the same basis, and the same
unceasing assistance is given to the worthy
and competent operator. II is evident
therefore that on every question connected
with the demand for stenOgraphcrs the
Remington Typewriter company Is fitted
70 speak with the highest authority. From
no other source IA existence Is Il possible
to obtain the same enormous body Of in
formation upon this subject.
Remington Company Reports.
The Remington people have placed at
our disposal full information from their
employment departments in all of the
larger cities of the United States and
Canada concerning the demand for young
zen. These facts and figures are reve-
iation They show that this demand is
not confined to a few localities. From
Massachusetts to California. from north,
south, east and west comes the same
story of the demand for young men in
the stenographc profession, and OF the
splendid opportunities which this demand
creates. Extracts are here given from the
reports of the Remington employment de-
partments at a number of the more impor-
tant centers:

typewriting can earn double what IS palu

house and he has the advantage OF coming
at once in touch with the general business
of the establishment. This is always an
important advantage for anyone seeking ad-

Chicago-During the year 1903 the Rem
ington employment department OF the chi
cago office supplied business houses with
6lA stenograpners "a per cent OF whom
were yoIng men S ano s% nssri 10 tly,cs as
many young men IL the supply were equal
TO the demand.
The demand for young men in the stem
ographic profession Is due to the fact that
the stenographer, being in position to
learn the inner details of the business
with which he is connected, is more easily
qualified for promotion to positions of trust
than are other members OF an office force.
This fact we learn from daily converse
tons with employers. Very many of the
correspondents, private secretaries, man
ayers and others who call on us for ste
nographers owe their own success to stenog-
raphy,

been receiving an exceptionally large call

ton can take care of all the competent
young men who make application to us.
Buffalo-The number OF young men ste
nographers and Remington operators placed
through our employment department dur
ing the year 1893 shows a gain over the
previous year of 80 per cent. These figures
would probably have shown a gain OF 80
per cent had we been able TO secure suit
able young men TO fill all the positions
offered.
Cincinnati-It is a wonder TO us why the
young man looking for a position with a
future does not apply himself to the COM
paratively easy task OF becoming an EN-
