MACHINIST TO STRUCTURAL DESIGNER 



EDMUND B. LA SALLE, Batavia., Ill, was employed as a 

 machinist when he enrolled in the Structural Engineering 

 Course of the I. C. S. He was ambitious, of course, to become 

 a structural draftsman and designer, but the numerous books 

 he bought were found to be a waste of money. After studying 

 the Course, Mr. La Salle obtained work as a draftsman. 

 Recently, he has accepted a position in Chicago as structural 

 designer, at a salary of $130 a month. He designs standpipes 

 and steel tanks; also towers for water-supply stations. 



fflS COURSE BROUGHT RAPID INCREASE 



ERNEST N. WOODBECK, 133 Crawford Ave., Detroit, Mich., 

 was learning the business of carpenter for reinforced concrete 

 work when he enrolled with the I. C. S. for a Concrete Engi- 

 neering Course. His studies made it possible for him to 

 become layerout of work from building plans. He had only 

 a seventh grade education when he enrolled, but in eighteen 

 months he increased his salary nearly 40 per cent. 



NOW OWNS A PROSPEROUS BUSINESS 



WM. F. GLEASON, 709 Crawford Ave., Augusta, Ga., was 

 earning $2.50 a day as a carpenter when he enrolled for the 

 Complete Architectural Course with the I. C. S. This enabled 

 him to become superintendent of construction for a concrete 

 building block and tile company. He has since established 

 a prosperous business of his own as a member of the Skinner 

 & Gleason Contracting Company, builders, making a specialty 

 of concrete construction and brick work. His income is at 

 least $2,000 a year. 



TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT MADE PERMANENT 



HARRY L. ACKERLEY, 3 Richard St., West Lynn, Mass., 

 says: "I first enrolled for a Course in Architecture. After 

 taking the preliminary studies I applied for a position as 

 draftsman and was given 'temporary' employment. I 

 remained with the concern four years. I then enrolled for 

 an Electrical Engineering Course, which has been invaluable 

 to me. I am now employed by the General Electric Com- 

 pany and my salary has been increased 350 per cent." 



SALARY INCREASED 400 PER CENT. 



MILTON S. GRAWL, 1803 Erie Ave., Philadelphia, Pa., at 

 the time of enrolling in the Architectural Drawing Course, 

 was working in a meat store. The Course started him on 

 the road to success. Today he is chief draftsman for a steel 

 company in Philadelphia, with 400 per cent, increase in income 

 over his salary as clerk.
