Pelmanising the Nation ! 
FAMOUS "BUSINESS FIRMS ENROL THEIR STAFFS IN HVNVREVS. 
10,000 ENROLMENTS A MONTH! 
" Peace, Pelmanism, and Prosperity" the watchword for all classes of men and women in 1919. 
The coming of Peace has given a tremendous impetus to 
the Pelman movement. 
Within a single month ten thousand men and women have 
enrolled for a Pelman Course ! 
"Peace, Pelmanism, and Prosperity" is, in effect, the 
national watchword of the day. Thousands who have 
hitherto been prevented from taking it up ar^ now hastening 
to begin their study of Pelmanism, which, during the strenuous 
war years, has proved of such enormous help to business and 
professional success. I 
Many big firms are enrolling their employees en masse : 
one famous business house has just enrolled 165 members 
of its staff. 
<_|Every enrolment is made with a definite aim. To gain a 
bigger salary or a better position: to increase efficiency, to 
economise time and work : to develop more ability : to 
broaden experience and to make learning easy — whatever 
the object may be, Pelmanism never fails to prove its value. 
There is no man or woman, in fact, who has conscientiously 
studied "the little grey books" without deriving benefit: 
the most popular phase being exemplified by the hundreds 
who have reported 100 per cent., 200 per cent., and even 300 
per cent, increases of salary as a direct consequence of 
Pelmanising. 
The evidence for Pelmanism is freely open to every one to 
examine, and will be sent to any reader who applies to-day 
to the address given below. 
REMARKABLE LETTERS. 
There is only one way of judging Pelmanism, and that is 
by results. In the records of the Institute there are many 
thousands of letters reporting the most remarkable " benefits" 
ever recorded ; benefits so substantial and so direet that* 
they speak more plainly than volumes of argument could do. 
A few extracts are given hereunder from some of these letters. 
From Bristol a Pelmanist writes : 
" After taking up Pelmanism for about three months I was 
offered a very high p)ost in the firm in which I am employed. 
This advancement, which dauhled my salary (which was not 
inconsiderable before), I attribute entirely to Pelmanism." 
The foregoing is tjrpical of, literally, hundreds of letters, 
some of which tell of incomes trebled and even quadrupled 
as a result of Pelmanism. These letters are not asked for : 
they are sent of the writer's free will. Pelmanists are only 
too ready to acknowledge the vast good they have derived 
from the Course. 
Here is another letter, from a journalist, who had only 
got as far as Lesson 4 when he wrote : 
" Already I feel a definite change in my mentality, a stirring 
and stretching in the mind. I cannot praise too highly the 
perfectly natural method of progression. There is no trick or 
quackery about it, and for the return your System gives it 
seems to be nonsensically cheap at the fees you charge." 
WORTH A HUNDRED TIMES THE 
PRICE. 
Many business men have remarked that the Course, to 
them, would be cheap at ten, twenty, or one hundred times 
the price. One man, a solicitor, said that a single lesson of 
the Course was worth £100. The cost, in short, is infinitesimal 
as compared with results, and small though the fee is, it 
may be paid by instalments if d^ired. Cost is no obstacle 
to anyone becoming a Pelmanist. 
Here is another letter — short and sweet — from a busy 
accountant : ' ■ -*a 
" Since becoming a Pelmanist I have benefited materially, 
having been promoted twice in twelve months, with 50 per 
cent, financial increase." c 
Large numbers of medical men have taken the Pelman 
Course, and manv of them recommend their patients and 
friends to do the same. Higher praise from such a cautious 
and conscientious body of professional men it would be 
impossible to gain. Here is^a letter from one : 
" I cannot be sufSciently thankful that I took a Pelman 
Course. ... 1 attribute my success in a large measure to 
the application of Pelman principles. The study was done 
in the spare time left to me by a large industrial practice." 
Another letter, also from a medical man : 
" 1 took the Pelman Course because my practice was not 
in a satisfactory condition, and I could not discover the 
cause. Your lessons enabled me to discover the weak points 
and correct them, with most satisfactory results. Your 
Course has proved to be a splendid investment for me. My 
chief regret is that I did not take it at the beginning." 
"RESULTS ARE WONDERFUL." 
Another Pelmanist expresses himself thus : 
"The results are wonderful. 1 used to wonder (before 
taking up the Pelman Course) if there was any possible 
exaggeration ; but, honestly, no pen can express one tittle 
of the value the Course really is. What I have gained up to 
the present could never be called costly eyen if it had cost 
me £50." 
It may be remarked that this gentleman had only worked 
through two lessons when he wrote the foregoing. Comment 
would be superfluous. 
One of the most interesting letters received by the Pelman 
institute during recent months contains the following very 
frank admissions : 
"1 admit having read your annoimcements for some ten 
yeJars, and yet I was not (to mj' eternal regret be it admitted) 
persuaded to commence your Course untU I noticed your 
consistent advertising in the Times. ... I do not see how 
anyone can study the Pelman lessons seriously and not 
gain thereby — reaping a reward which, besides its definite 
and tangible advantage, also brings with it developments 
which have no parallel in money values. 
"To those of my acquaintance who ask my opinion of the 
Pelman training, I have «aid, and shall continue to say : 
Take it — follow instructions carefully — and if at the end of 
the Course you do not admit having gained something good 
—right out of proportion to its cost — I will personally refund 
your outlay." 
Such a letter from a business man surely shows that 
Pelmanism is at least as good as — ^if not better th^ — its 
claims. And that is the opinion of many students. The 
following extract from a Pelmanist 's letter has previously 
been published, but will bear repetition. In the course of a 
very warm tribute to the system, he said : 
"I used to think the claims made for Pelmanism were 
fantastic and impossible ; now I consider them to be under- 
statements of the truth." 
CONSIDER THESE POINTS. 
There is no parallel to the amazing success of Pelmanism 
amongst all classes ; and every month, every week, its 
success and popularity increase. 
It is perfectly simple and easy to master, takes but very 
little time, and can be studied anywhere. Being taught 
entirely by correspondence, it does not matter where you 
live. Many successful Pelmanists took up the Course when 
living overseas in remote corners of the Empire. 
It has now been adopted by over 400,000 men and women, 
and no thorough student of the Course has ever yet failed to 
secure "results."

and Memory," which also contains a complete descriptive 
Synopsis of the 12 lessons. A copy of this interesting booklet,
