YOUR COUNTRY'S CALL.
AMERICA IS FACING A GREAT CRISIS—
but many of our people do not realize it.
....Thousands of Boys and Girls are facing a
turning point in their careers—but fail to see
the path leading to the ambition-crowned
heights of success.
Trained workers are needed today as never
before. The future of America may depend
upon their united efforts. Boys and girls who
are equipped for efficient work can “help win
the war,” while securing better positions foi
themselves and making rapid personal advance
nient.
The only thing standing in your way is lack
of training. You will never get very far in this
world at manual labor. Muscle is always re
latively cheap. Brains are always at a premium
and especially at this time, when so many po
sitions must be filled quickly.
You can learn our system of shorthand and
typewriting in 8 to 12 weeks, and we will secure
for you a good position. We have started thous
ands of young men and women on thg road to
success in the Business World. Let us do as
much for you.
We give free courses, along with Shorthand
or Bookkeeping, in Typewriting, Penmanship,
spelling, Business Law, English and Arithmetic.
Our system of Bookkeeping is up-to-date and,
when learned, can be used in any modern bus
iness office.
Don’t let any light obstacle prevent you from
entering our Fall classes, September 3rd. Call
and discuss your problems with us, or write us
freely. You must remember that “Where there
is a will there is a way”. We have shown the
way in thousands of cases. Our years of ex
perience is at your service. Give us the oppor
tunity of showing you how you can secure the
necessary training to fit you for one of the many
good positions open to ambitious young people.
Act definitely. Call or write today. Decide
that you will train for efficient service—that
you will hold a much better job next year than
now—that you will make the most possible of
your life. We will glady help you. Write for
our journal. ..“FORWARD”, which points the
way to opportunity for you. It proves there
are many desirable openings in business.

Another Letter to Ford Owners
TO ALL OUR FRIENDS AND FORD OWNERS:
Have your cars overhauled and repaired this
winttr while we have the time to devote to the
work. It means money to us and more SERVICE
to you. You cannot use your car during the win
ter as much as you can next spring and consequent
ly you can spare it better at this season. We have
less work to do during the winter and can devote
more time to your job. We have to pay our me
chanics jast the same, you see, and we want you to
help us keep them busy.
Remember, every single bit of our work is abso
lutely guaranteed and we will cheerfully do it over
again, and at no cost to you, if it don’t hold up. Let
us do your repair work. We are interested in your
car. We sold it and it is to our interest to make it
run as well and last as long as it will.
As ever, we are,
Your Friends,
