 sm writing this letter as a last resort to ore if we cannot secure more men willing to $sasiiy for positions paying up. to $leOeo . year. These positions are open in the traffic field. And the shortage of traffic men is great CT today than ever before. About e, COG big business corporations need expert traffic man aSers. Boards of Trade, Chambers of Com mercc, State Railway and Public Utility Com missions need Traffic Secretaries and Experts Half million smaller shippers must employ consulting Traffic Managers who will direct the work of five to a dozen concerns. There are tens of thousands of Assistant Traffic Managers needed in large Railroad, Indus trial land Association Traffic Departments.
 There are probably not enough qualified men Tn the whole United States to meet the needs of c single large industrial centcr, and save the millions of dollars wasted throug h lack of technical knowledge. It is estimated that over a hundred thousand more competent traffic men are needed at once.

 Competent trafic men can name their own salary. Mir.

Traffic Efficiency Experts saved a Detroit automobile concern $s4o, 900 in ten months.
 Traffic men are paid large salaries because they make large profits for their employers.
 Heretofore, there has been no simple way to master the details of traffic management Realizing the. crying demand for trained traffic experts, and seeking relief the Ameri- can Commerce Association offers to give men the training required to make them compe tent to handle the problems of most economical distribution. The training is given by mail and can be studied in spare time, at home Though the most complete and thorough training iS<given, the Course is remarkably easy to master, and through the Association costs but . few cents day.
 It IS impossible to go into detaiIs in this letter. but the Association has published a remarkable book for free distribution which explains everything in detail and tells how anyone may quickly learn the new profession of trafhc management. The possibilities in this field today great as they are-are noth- lng compared to what they will be year from now.
