How a small business became the 

 largest of its kind 



A true story especially valuable to any man 

 who is, or hopes to be, in business for himself 



SOME years ago, in the corridor of a down- 

 town office building in New York, a very 

 little business was started. It dealt in a very 

 small commodity — theatre tickets. 



Today that business has a large establishment 

 on Broadway near Forty-third Street and 

 branches in a half dozen New York hotels. Its 

 annual turn-over runs into the millions. Mc- 

 Bride' s" has become a national institution 

 patronized by thousands of successful men and 

 women in all parts of the land. 



" The average man could double 

 his success 7 ' 



\\ 7" HAT was it that happened to The "nice littie 

 * business" to cause it to become the largest busi- 

 ness of its kind ? 



John McBride, one of the three men who have 

 made it, answers that question this way: 



"The Alexander Hamilton Institute's Modern Business Course 

 and Sen-ice came to us at just the right time. It taught us to think in 

 large terms; it gave us increased self-confidence. We were no longer 

 satisfied to have a nice little business; we determined to have the 

 largest business of its kind in the world." 



Only successful men and women deal with the 

 McBrides ; those who are glad to pay 50 cents ad- 

 ditional on each theatre ticket for the sake of service 

 and convenience. The leaders of finance and industry 

 thruout tiie country are their customers. 



"I have studied these successful men." Mr. McBride says, "and 

 the quality they have which other men lack is simply this— complete 

 faith in themselves. That faith is founded on the knowledge that 

 they are masters of business; that they can deal with any crisis when 

 it arises and can reach out and grasp any opportunity when it occurs. 



"I believe the average man could double his faith in hknself in a 

 few months if he would make himself master of the fundamentals 

 of business thru such a training as the Alexander Hamilton Institute 

 can give." 



No business is different 



VfOU say that the McBride business is "different." 



Mr. McBride does not think so. He found that 



he needed to know credits, and merchandising, office

management, cor- 

 poration finance, and 

 investment, sales- 

 manship, and adver- 

 tising — the very same 

 business funda- 

 mentals that apply in 

 every office and 

 factory in the land. 



Fundamentally his 

 business is no differ- 

 ent than that of any 

 other business. That 

 is why he has profited 



by this Course and Service just as many men have in 

 every line of business. 



More than 95,000 men, representing every kind 

 and department of business, have tested the practical 

 value of this training. They have proved that training 

 breeds self-confidence, and self-confidence means busi- 

 ness progress and increased earning power.
