POSITION AWAITING YOU
Demand for Help: A country-wide
investigation of employment condi-
tions to get information as to the
type of help in greatest demand show-
ed the following results:
Out of 2445 advertisements for
help, 1338 specified a business train-
ing and 524 of the remaining 1107
were for positions that office assist-
ants grow into. No other profes-
sion can claim one-filth as great a
demand. In fact, this proves that
there is a greater demand for busi-
ness trained men and women than aH
other trades and professions combin-
ed. Are you passing up the wonder-
ful opportunities of a business train-
ing just to become a day laborer,
house-maid, department store clerk,
telephone operator, factory hand,
etc.?
There is a business position await-
ing you. Are you ready for it? Can
you enter a business office knowing
that you can handle a bookkeeper’s
desk, do the work of a stenographer
or private secretary, or hold any or.c
of the specialized places open in the
modern business office? The big
salaries come to men and women who
can Do One Thing Well. Training
is necessary. Have you been drilled
in the basic principles of business
that will enable you to hold higher-
salaried and more responsible posi-
tions as the opportunities arise? Un-
less you know these things, the chan-
ces of your success are small.
Make up your mind to train, to
start your business education NOW.
Every day that slips by is a loss to
you—it puts a good position and a
good salary farther away from you.
A few months in Tyler Commercial
College, the largest business training
university in America, Tvill give you
the training you need. You can get
the training at T. C. C. within the
least time, at the least cost, and can
enjoy the services of their Employ-
ment Department. Send the coupon

ness.” The book is free. Send for

THE AMERICAN VARIETY OF
THRIFT
Thrift as a national characteristic
has never been attributed to Ameri-
cans, who on the contrary always
have been regarded the world over as
extravagant spenders. Yet in spite
of all their expenditures for so-called
luxuries, statisticians and students of
fiscal affairs now find it possible to
marshal evidence showing that while
they never compare with the French
in frugality and personal economy,

they no longer deserve a reputation
for financial recklessness.
Harry G. Thompson, Prudential
Life Insurance executive, tells us
some interesting things about Amer-
ican savings?
Savings bank deposits, which are
increasing with remarkable rapidity,
are now in excess of twenty billion
dollars.
Building and loan assets
four billion, and building and load I
shareholders are increasing at the
rate of about one billion per year.
Life insurance assets, which repre-
sent another form of savings, now
amount to more than eleven billion
dollars.
There are probably 55,000,000 pol-
icyholders throughout the United
States who contribute annually to the
funds for the protection of their de-
pendent about two and one-half bil-
lion dollars, an amount closely ap-
proaching the yearly expenditure for
passenger motor cars.
Last year there v;as written more-
than thirteen and a half billions of
new life nsurance. The total of all
the life nsurance policies now in force,
in the United States legal reserve
companies, exceeds sixty-four billion,
d liars.
No other country in the world even
nearly approaches these amazing to-
tals. And remember, it all represents
exceed j actuai economy and savings—as welt
forethought.

you need. We are at your service.—
