Open Tonight

Last year young man who had !
never earned over $50 Der month in |
his life applied for a course in book
keeping at the Y. NJ c. A. night /
school," says a booklet. relating to7
the Y. Nj. c. A. educational courses, |
which open this evening. He stud |,
led hard two evenings a week while !
working in the daytime as Office boy
for a prominent local firm. At the !
end of the school year a call came 20 .
the Y NJ c. A. for bookkeeper at .
the Eva Plantation Companys store ,
The salary was SIS per month and a
room. This young man who had been .
plugging away in the bookkeeping ,
class during his spare evenings was
recommended for the position. He |
accepted it at the salary mentioned, !
which was three times as much as ne
had been able to earn without a
knowledge of bookkeeping.
"Since the total expenses of the .
course to this young man was $3.50
ard the increase in his earning ca
pacity over $50 per month, it was
surely a good investment for him.
Most of you who read this booklet .
haven't the money to invest in sugar
stocks. But practically all can invest
in the education the Y. NJ. c. A. night
school offers, and it can be made TO
yield larger dividends in increased
earning capacity than the best paying
sugar stocks
"The object of the Y. NJ. c. A. night
school is to help young men to earn
