I.C.S. HELPED HIM GET AHEAD 



PHILIP P. SCHERER, Bernard St., Box 50, Port Wash- 

 ington, N. Y., started the Surveying and Mapping Course 

 when an office clerk. Later the knowledge gained en- 

 abled him to begin work as a rodman for the L. I. R. R. 

 His next step was to the position of transitman for the 

 same company, still keeping constantly at his studies. As 

 recognition of his work he has been made assistant en- 

 gineer. The benefits derived from his Course, together 

 with his Reference Library, gave him the necessary con- 

 fidence to undertake any problem or work in the en- 

 gineering line. It is his opinion that any ambitious per- 

 son can succeed if he will only conscientiously study an 

 I.C.S. Course. 



SALARY INCREASED 100 PER CENT. EACH YEAR 

 GILBERT SMITH, Concho, W. Va., was a driver earning

 a position which he still holds. His salary has increased 

 nearly 100 per cent, each year since enrolment.

 R. S. MENTZER, Norwich, N. Y., began the Surveying 

 and Mapping Course when a cbainman, 17 years old. He 

 is now holding the position of transitman with the D., L.

 to his Course and highly recommends the Schools.
