AGE NO BARRIER TO SUCCESS 



MORRIS TINGLEY, Box 21, Hop Bottom, Pa., was 52 

 years old when he decided to take up the study of sur- 

 veying and mapping, his first I.C.S. Course. At that 

 time he was engaged in farming. The knowledge he 

 gained from his Course enabled him to become the sur- 

 veyor for Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, and he 

 has so satisfactorily performed the duties of his position 

 that he has held the office continuously ever since. To 

 show the high esteem in which I.C.S. instruction is held 

 by him, he has also enrolled for the Course in Bridge 

 Engineering. 



500 PER CENT. INCREASE 



One of our graduates, J. FRED FREEMAN. 2730 Crawford 

 Ave., Parsons, Kans., was working as a grocery clerk 

 when he enrolled for the Mechanical Drawing Course. 

 Having obtained his Diploma he enrolled for the Rail- 

 road Engineering Course, entering the engineering de- 

 partment of the M. K. & T. Railway. Eight months 

 later he was advanced to the position of rodman. He 

 says that if it had not been for his I.C.S. Course he 

 might still be in the grocery business, dissatisfied with 

 his work, instead of holding the position as draftsman 

 for his company with an increase in salary of 500 per 

 cent, over what he received at the time of enrolment. 



NOW CHIEF ENGINEER 



C. M. REDFIELD, Des Chutes, Ore., held a position as 

 assistant engineer on the Columbia Southern Railway 

 when starting his I.C.S. Course. He now holds the re- 

 sponsible position of chief engineer for the Central 

 Oregon Irrigation Company. He states that without the 

 knowledge gained from his Course, he would be at great 

 disadvantage in his work, likewise, that his salary would 

 not be as large. He keeps his. textbooks in constant use 

 for reference purposes. 



NOW PRESIDENT OF HIS OWN COMPANY 



At the time of enrolling for the Surveying and Mapping 

 Course, WILLIAM ZIEHNERT, Belleville, 111., held a minor 

 position in a county surveyor's office. Later he became 

 assistant city engineer of Belleville, 111., afterwards be- 

 ing made the city engineer. This position he resigned to 

 become consulting engineer to the State Board of Admin- 

 istration of Illinois. Feeling that his efforts should be 

 expended in his own behalf, he decided to go into busi- 

 ness for himself, and formed the St. Clair Engineering 

 and Construction Company, becoming President at an 

 annual salary of $2,000.
