How Charles Wilson Jumped to $600 a Month One morning, three years ago, two brothers, Charles and John Wilson, dropped into my office for a little manto-man talk on the future. At that time John was driving a delivery wagon — Charles was a clerk in a grocery store. Both were earning about $20.00 a week and could see nothing ahead except long hours at small pay. Having heard of the big opportunities in the Electrical Field, and my easy home-study Course in practical electricity, they came to me for advice. "Boys," I told them, "if you will follow my easy course of training, which I will outline ior you, you can qualify in a very short time as Electrical Experts and be ready to earn at least $75 to $100 a week." Charles Wilson Said YES And Today Earns $600 a Month Charles Wilson promptly agreed to follow my instructions, and that week took up the study of my course in Practical Electricity. He made rapid progress with the various lessons. And, by doing practical work on the side, with the tools which I gave him, more than paid for the course through spare-time work. He graduated as an Electrical Expert in less than a year. And in the two years since he finished my course has made wonderful progress. Today he earns $600 a month as an Electrical Expert. A prompt yes, three years ago, coupled with back-bone and the determination to get ahead, has brought him big success. John Wilson Said NO And Still Earns $85 a Month John Wilson, the younger of the two brothers, could not see the big possibilities of my plan— he wanted to "think it over," "talk to his friends," "would come back and see me again," etc. And, as is usually the case when a man delays action, he failed to do anything definite. He drifted along, month after month in the same old job, at the same old pay. The other day John Wilson dropped into my office again. "Mr Cooke," he saio. "three years of foolish indecision have cost me thousands of dollars, I say this because Charles, who wrote me yesterday of his new position, is now earning $600 a month as an Electrical Expert. I have simply wasted three years. Now I want you to start in and do for me just what you did for Charles. I want to start today to make up for lost time."
