When a distinguished group of
big businessmen is willing to drop
everything and leave their desks,
teletypes and appointments for
one solid day to put on a ques-
ion-and-answer session for a
group of teen-agers, that particu-
lar group of teen-agers must be
pretty important.
That's just what I figured when
I had my first introduction to
Junior Achievement at their an
nual convention in New York a
few years ago.
Such important businessmen as
S. Bayard Colgate, the tooth paste
tycoon; Jim Farley, the Coca-Cola
executive; Emil Schram, president
of the New York Stock Exchange,
and Fred G. Clark, chairman of
the American Economic Founda-
tion. were on hand to answer in
telligent questions from about a
hundred girls and fellas assem-
bled in huge hotel ballroom.
At present there are about 1000
groups of young people all over
the United States learning the
meaning of free enterprise"
American style. by being spon-
sored by small and large COM
panies.
They gain their knowledge of
manufacturing and selling by
forming and operating miniature
businesses which are operated un-
der the guidance of several mem
bers Of the large parent" COM
pany.
Here's how Junior Achievement
works. A group of high school or
college kids will decide to go into
the manufacturing business on a
small scale. so they find a COM
pany to sponsor them.
They choose the product they'd
like to manufacture, elect their
company officers and plan their
part-time work program. Then
they sell stock for so cents a
share and actually go to work
making and selling their product
which markets either from door
to door or by mail order.
Each business is set up In the
same manner as any large con-
Germ, so naturally they have the
same problems on a miniature
scale. The members of the group
meet regularly to discuss their
work with their sponsor.
Junior Achievement was formed
to help young people to learn by
doing. It's purpose is to help
young folks CLEAN business knowl-
edge by running one of their own,
to tackle management-labor prob
lens early in the game. to learn
about profits, capital, budgets,
payrolls, raw materials, balance

In addition to selling, I would
learn tipping and shorthand and
take courses in writing, art and
advertising in my spare time.
I would take any job that
would give me a foothold in an
advertising agency or advertis-
ing department and keep a sharp
eye out for opportunities to
prove my ability.
Advertising is an exciting and
expanding field that offers rich
financial rewards.
