Did You Ever Stop to Think Dollars?

Did you ever stop to think that you do
four things-just four and no more? You
think; you remember; you imagine; you
act. When you learn to think better, re-
member better, imagine better, or act bet
ter, you are increasing your efficiency,
and, therefore, your income. You may
pose you are; it isn't a question of what
YOU know, but of how benficial a practical
business education will be to you in addi-
ton to what you already know. Did you
ever stop TO think that IS per cent of the
men of this country are only earning s15
per week, or less? That 80 per cent fail
in business between the ages OF forty and
fifty? That Is per cent have no money at
the age of sixty? We have been very
successful in getting men out of the IS,
the 50 and the 95 per cent class. Why
not let US help you? We have been mar
velously successful in raising salaries, as
is conclusively proven by the letters in
our catalog from former students. You
will agree with us that to violate part of
the laws of business means partial failure,
and to violate all the laws means complete
failure. You are also aware that to OBJ
serve part of the laws of business means
partial success, and to observe all of the
laws means complete success. Our aim is
to help you observe higher per cent of
the laws of success, and, therefore, enable
you to be nearer the maximum success
The late Prof. James of Harvard declares
that the average man only uses 10 per
cent of his brain power. Suppose you are
twice as capable as the average man?
Even that would mean you are only using
20 per cent Of your MAXIMUM possibilities.
The purpose of our course is to produce
maximum Of proficiency with minimum
effort. The business world wants thinkers
and doors. There's famine of high
priced men to-day. There are thousands
of men worth thousand dollars a year,
but only few worth ten thousand year.
Be the latter kind of man; you can if
you will. We know that man is worth
only about So day from the chin down,
selling muscle, but as high as hundred
thousand dollars year from the chin up,
selling brains. Be chin upper and sell
the higher type of brains. You can't
afford to be q landowner. There's no
room for such man in the high salaried
class. Take our thorough practical course
of Bookkeeping, Business Administration
and Finance, Shorthand or Telegraphy-
learn how to think, to remember, to imag-
inc, and act. Our large catalogue is free
for the asking, if you will only fill in and
mail the following blank, giving your
name and address.
