1Men who are satisfied to wait 10 years will find nothing interesting on this page
3HOW SOON would you like a substantial advance in salary and position? Are you anxious not to wait a long time—five years, ten years—for recognition and increased income?
5The man whose "time table" appears at the right is J. Henly Frier, Jr., assistant to the general manager of the Bassick Manufacturing Company, makers of the famous Alemite products.
7He was a West Point graduate. When he entered business, in his own words he was "absolutely ignorant of sales, advertising and general business practice."
9He enrolled a little over two years ago. Two years are generally regarded as a short space in a man's business life. Most young men expect only modest advances in such a period. But the point which the Alexander Hamilton Institute emphasizes is this:—
11Two years, plus the advantages of a well directed business training and the prestige that comes to a man who has had it, are worth ten years of average undirected progress.
13Two years can be made to yield you, as it did Mr. Frier, a 200% increase in income. The records of thousands of men in the Institute's files prove it. You can come to large success ten years ahead of the usual "schedule." You can have the satisfaction of larger earning power, more leisure, travel, success, while you are still young.
15Only a training that is sound, practical and profitable could have the endorsement of the eminent men who form the Advisory Council of the Alexander Hamilton Institute.

24His Verdict
25"I have been privileged to hold a position of large responsibility probably ten years ahead of schedule. The training received from the Alexander Hamilton Institute was an indispensable factor in this rapid progress. It is an investment which paid me a 200% dividend in less than two years."
