BECAME FOREMAN 



When HERMAN L. WALTON, 531 Berwick St., Easton, Pi.., 

 started to study his I. C. S. Boilermaker's Course, he could 

 not work out simple questions in long division, and did not know 

 how many pounds of steam a boiler could carry without guessing 

 at it. He now holds the position of foreman of boilermaking at 

 the South Easton Shops of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Co. at 

 a salary 100 per cent, greater than when he enrolled. 



HOLDS AN IMPORTANT POSITION 



B. B. FITCH, Room 506, 112 Water St., Boston, Mass., was 

 an engineer and janitor in charge of one of the public schools 

 when he enrolled for the Boilermaker's Course. He was then 

 36 years old, and had been earning a living for 18 years at a 

 laborious occupation. After 1 year's study of his course he 

 passed successful examinations and secured the position of 

 boiler inspector for the Fidelity & Casualty Co. of New York, 

 with a material increase in his salary. 



A FOREIGNER'S RISE 



JOSEPH MOLINEK, New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, Can., could 

 barely read or write when he enrolled with the Schools for the 

 Boilermaker's Course, having been in this country but 2 years. 

 He says that our Course has made him foreman of the structural 

 shop for the Brown Machine Co., employing 350 men, with an 

 increase in his wages amounting to 150 per cent. 



SALARY TRIPLED 



CHRISTIAN EECK, 215 S. East St., Clinton, 111., was earning 

 $35 a month as a machinist's helper at the time he took up our 

 Complete Locomotive Running Course. He is now an engineer 

 on the Illinois Central, making from $125 to $150 a month. 



BETTERED HIS POSITION DOUBLED HIS SALARY 



While firing a locomotive for the Foster-Lahinear Lumber Co. 

 earning $50 a month, O. H. JOSEPH, 433 Indiana Ave., North 

 Fond du Lac, Wis., enrolled for our Complete Locomotive 

 Running Course. From this he graduated. He is now em- 

 ployed on the "Soo" line, drawing $120 a month. 



CHIEF AIR INSPECTOR 



J. A. McGuYER, 1517 South 19th St., Terre Haute, Ind., 

 was working as a car repairer at the time he enrolled for the 

 Complete Air Brake Course. He is at present chief air inspector 

 at Terre Haute, having increased his salary 25 per cent. He 

 declares that his advancement is chiefly due to the Course he 

 took with the I. C. S.
