Now Reinforcement 

 Contractor 



I am a pretty busy man these days, but 

 I must send you a little message of appreciation 

 concerning your Concrete Engineering Course. 

 Two years ago I was a machinist's helper in 

 a railroad shop, earning 23 cents an hour. 

 But I was ambitious and when your repre- 

 sentative approached me I soon saw that I 

 would make the mistake of my life if I did not 

 sign up for a Course. I found your Concrete 

 Engineering Course a veritable gold mine. 

 I immediately secured work on a reinforced 

 concrete building. Before this was completed 

 I was tendered the position of steel foreman 

 on a large reinforced concrete building in 

 Portland, at just double my former salary. 

 I am now a reinforcement contractor, bending, 

 fabricating and placing steel reinforcement 

 in all classes of reinforced concrete construc- 

 tion. I have now four large contracts under 

 way. I am thankful for the fact that a repre- 

 sentative of the I. C. S. yanked me out of my 

 hole and pointed out a way for me to stay out.
