The Many-Man Power

We employ in Our Offices, both in New

These two boards together consist OF
twenty-eight men.
Each of these men is a master Of ad-

won his place here through brilliant sue

All are high-priced men. 1t costs US

These men, in conference, work out the

She corroborsted Capt Strings testi-

She said the only occasion on which

Stirling had suggested that perhaps the
witness would Ike to hear what had

the suggestion that he go TO witness

insisted. and so both he and she had
come and sat on the edge OF the bed

Northland a room in the suite which the

Sometimes the man is able, sometimes
experienced. Still it is one-man power.
One man never learns ali the pitfalls.
The ablest OF men has limited knowledge,
limited ideas and experience. And hu-
man nature is too varied for any one
man to average.
But our Advisory Boards, in confer
ence, rarely make mistakes. And they
rarely fail to get from advertising every
latent possibility.
Under the one-man way, too many cam
paigns failed to return their cost. We
know that from our own experience.
Under the New Way, most of our clients
succeed.
Under the Old Way, we made but
semi-successes. Under the New Way
our successes are the wonders of adver-
Using.

The rapid growth Of the college OF po-

for special education for the public sery-
lice.
Starting quietly in the middle Of the
year 1861, with only three regular stu

department increased to over fifty regular
students during its first full year-ls07-0S.
At the present time there are already
eighty-seven students, with prospects OF a
18TH larger registration before the ending
OF the year.
