THE POWER OF ADVERTISING
How 1t Has Built Up a Great Cor
respondence School at Scranton,
Pa, In a Few Years.

The international Textbook COM
pany. proprietors OF the International
School OF Correspondence of Scran-
ton. Pa. Is an excellent illustration OF
what can be accomplished by adver-
Using. In 1891 Thomas j. Foster was
the editor and publisher OF a little
weekly paper In the mining town OF
shenandoah. Pa. He noticed that his
paper published n great many reports
OF accidents in mines. and he made
an investigation. He reached the con-
clusion that these accidents were
largely due to ignorance. and after
much thought and study, started
query column in his paper. looking
to the explanation OF these accidents.
and suggestions as to how thoy could
be prevented.
Inc column was so successful that
the plan broadened out. He made his
paper mining journal. and eventual.
ly published a textbook for mine fore
men. His correspondence grew so
fast that he decided to open a CORE
spondence school for miners. Ono
thought after another developed. un-
TIL today there are 214 courses of
study arranged by this institution,
and 1t employs 3.40O persons. No
fewer than 100000 students have
studied with it, and at the present
time there are 100000 students en-
gagged In active study and the work il
being done all over the world.
All this tremendous business was
the result OF judicious advertising.
The. school is now advertising In II
magazines and over 1000 newspapers
In the United States alone, in addi-
ton to the other forms of advertis-
Ing used. and is spending at least a
quarter of a million dollars annually
for this. The company is capitalized
at more than 100000, and for years
