DON'T Be AVERAGE" MAN

Young people must make them
selves efficient and handle their
earnings properly during their pro-
ductive years if they are to escape
the common lot of being dependent in
old age.
The life insurance companies have
compiled Hgues which abundantly
demonstrate these facts. Give sober
consideration to this digest of life ex-
periences of Que hundred average
men: At the age of sixty-five the
record of these men are as follows:
tnirty-five are dead, one rich, four
wealthy, six are self supporting but
are compelled to work for living,
fifty -four, or over half the number
are dependent on children, relatives,
or charity. This is sad state of affairs
and only can be remedied by getting
the proper kind OF business training in
youth.
The average educated man gets a
salary of 81 500 year. He works
forty years, making total Of $50, 900
in life time. The average day laborer
gets 1925 per day, three hundred days
in the year, or $67 . year. In forty
years he earns $27 100000. The
difference, 5000, equals the finan-
ciaI value of an education. To acquire
this earning capacity requires about
FIVE months time or one hundred and
fifty days in the Tyler Commercial
College. Divide one hundred and
fifty days into sSS, 900 the value of ed
ucstion, and you will find that each
day spent, in the Tyler Commercial
College Is worth 1920 to you without
