Salary Increased 450 

 Per Cent. 



For several years I had charge of small steam 

 plants which paid me about $20 a month. 

 An I. C. S. Representative put the correspond- 

 ence school question up to me in such a way 

 I felt it plainly marked "Opportunity." I 

 subscribed for the Engine Running Course, and 

 began studying in my spare moments. Night 

 after night, when the little ones were in dream- 

 land, I was digging into the technicalities of 

 steam engineering. 



My reward is being gathered each week as I 

 receive my pay envelope, increased- by 450 per 

 cent, over what it was when I bought the Course. 



I now have charge of a new steam-electric 

 plant of about 850 horsepower, having from 

 five to eight men in my department. The 

 position I fill was won only by the preparation 

 the I. C. S. gave me. I know of no other way 

 I could have prepared myself for this position. 

 I have my diploma from the I. C. S., and I prize 

 it more highly than any mark of honor I have 

 received. 



To all ambitious men I say, "To succeed you 

 need only pluck, push, perseverance, and a 

 Course in the I. C. S."
