Never Mind FLw Strong Y«u Are—
What d'ye Know?
That's the point—"What d'ye KNOW?"
To-day it's a battle of wits—and brains win
Muscle and brawn don't count so much as they used to.
In the fight for good jobs and big salaries it's brains
—not brawn—that win. "What d'ye KNOW?" is the
one great question that draws the line between defeat
and victory between "wages" and "salary" between
you and the Boss.
What do YOU know? Are YOU so expert in some
line of work that you can "make good" as a foreman,
superintendent, or manager? If not, why don't you mark
and mail the attached coupon and permit the Interna
tional Correspondence Schools to show you how you
CAN "make good" on a big job?
For 23 years the I. C. S. have been showing men how to
do better work and earn bigger salaries. Every month over 400
students write of promotions or salary increases through I C
S. training "What the I. C. S. are doing for these men they can
do for YOU.
No matter where you live, how old yon are, what hours
you work, or how limited your education—if ynu can read and
write and are ambitious to learn the I. C. S. can train you in
your own home, during your spare time, for a more lmDortant
and better-paying position.
Mark and mail the attached coupon—lt won't obligate
I you in the least—and the I. C. S. will show you how you can
acquire this ealary-ralsing ability by their ;mple and easv
methods. '
