BETTERED HIS POSITION AND SALARY 



CHAS. A. CARPENTER, 16 West 3d St., Fulton, N. Y., was 

 a steam fitter, earning $65 a month, when he enrolled with the 

 Schools, at the age of 35, for a Mechanical Drawing Course and 

 afterward for the Mechanical Engineering Course. He is 

 master mechanic of reinforced concrete work for the Walter 

 Bradley Concrete Company. His Courses have enabled him 

 to design several new machines, one of which saves the com- 

 pany 25 per cent, of the cost of production. His salary has 

 increased about 50 per cent, since he began to study his first 

 Course. 



FROM BRICKLAYER TO GENERAL CONTRACTOR 



W. C. DAVIS, Michigan Building, Wichita, Kans., was 

 working as a bricklayer, with no prospect of advancement, 

 when he enrolled with the Schools for the Complete Archi- 

 tectural Course. After successfully superintending the con- 

 struction of a large warehouse he became a member of the 

 H. I. Ellis Construction Company, employing from 50 to 

 100 men. He says that his Course enables him to superintend 

 the field work of the company, especially in the line of masonry 

 and concrete. His income has increased at least 300 per cent. 



PASSED A SUCCESSFUL EXAMINATION 



OTIS M. TOWNSEND Eighth St., Ocean City, N. J., was an 

 apprentice boy when he enrolled with the Schools for the 

 Complete Architectural Course. He is now an architect and 

 builder employing 40 carpenters and keeping a draftsman in 

 his office. His Course enabled him to pass the state exam- 

 ination successfully and receive a certificate as an architect. 



SALARY INCREASED 400 PER CENT. 



When C. M. MAYNARD, 810 Belleville Ave., New Bedford, 

 Mass., enrolled for the Building Contractors' Course he was 

 a carpenter, earning $1.75 a day. He gives the I. C. S. the 

 credit for establishing him as a contractor and builder and 

 increasing his income about 400 per cent. 



FROM POVERTY TO PROSPERITY 



H. L. THOMAS, Englewood, Colo., enrolled in the I. C. S. 

 while out of work, without money, and with a family of six 

 to support. Just one year after starting the I. C. S. Course 

 he secured a position as draftsman, at $55 a month. Soon 

 he got a better position at $75 a month, laying out work, 

 and making plans and designs, all of which he could do without 

 instruction other than that received from the Course. At 

 present Mr. Thomas is with the Denver Union Water Company, 

 as structural engineer.
