1The joy of succeeding while you are still young
3TWO men work equally hard, and both succeed. But, to one man, position and independence come at thirty-five; to the other, not until sixty.
5Success is sweet, whenever it comes; but, at sixty, the capacity for enjoyment is less keen. The travel that seems so alluring at thirty-five, has lost a little of its charm; the distance to the end of the road of life is shorter, and many a man finds fortune in his hands so late that there is time only to arrange to pass it on to someone else.
7Happy is the man who finds a way to save, somehow, the intervening years; there is joy in succeeding while you still are young. The reason why success comes so late for most men is that there is so much to learn.
9Only a man who knows all the different departments of business is qualified to reach the higher positions, or to enter business for himself. And the learning of all departments from practical experience in each, is a matter of many years.
11Learning how to save the wasted years
13IS there no way to shorten this process? Must every man's life have so many wasted years? Thousands of able men have determined to eliminate those wasted years from their lives; many have found the answer in the Alexander Hamilton Institute's Modern Business Course and Service.
15For years, the Alexander Hamilton Institute has specialized in the single task of training men for the higher executive positions in business.
17Into its Course have been built the experience and the methods which have made many of the business leaders most successful.
19More than 20,000 presidents of corporations are numbered among its successful subscribers. "In the past eight years," one man wrote recently, "my income has increased 750%. The Course has been the foundation of my business training."
21Would you like to save the wasted years? Would you know the joy of rapid, instead of moderate, progress—the joy of succeeding while you still are young? If so, this is the call of opportunity to you; a moment's decision is all you need.
23Any man who is sincerely interested in his future, will clip the coupon at the bottom of this page. It is placed there for a purpose—to separate from the mass of drifters the few men who are asking themselves: "Where am I going to be ten years from now?"
