ADVERTISING SECTION 11 An Amazingly Easy Way to Earn $10,000 aYear Let Me Show You How Free TO the average man the S10,000 a year job is only a dream. Yet today there are a surprising number of men earning five figure salaries who were merely dreaming of them a short while ago. The secret of their success should prove a startling revelation to every ambitious man who has ever aspired to get into the §10,000 a year class. There is nothing fundamentally "different" about the man whose salary runs into five figures. He is made of the same stuff as you and I. It is not necessary that he must enjoy the privilege of some influential connection or "pull." For example take J. P. Overstreet of Dallas, Texas. A few short years ago he was a police officer earning less than SI, 000 ayear. To-day his earnings are in excess of SI, 000 a month — more than §12,000 a year. C. W. Campbell, Greensburg, Pa., was formerly a railroad employe on a small salary — last month his earnings were SI, 562. Why Salesmen Earn Such Big Pay Just stop a moment and think over the successful men of your acquaintance. How many of them are connected with some form of selling? If you will study any business organization you will see that the big jobs go to the men who sell, for upon their efforts depend the profits a company makes. Without trained men to place a product on the market, the finest goods are worth no more than so much clay. Salesmen are the very nerve centers of a business. Is it any wonder that they earn big pay? The man who starts working as a bookkeeper or clerk for 525.00 a week, never increases his value to the firm. Any advance in pay is merely a reward for length of service. At the end of ten years he is no more essential to the life of the organization than he was at the end of ten weeks. He is only a necessary liability — drawing his pay because somebody must be found to work at the u nimportant, routine jobs. Once established in the rut, he becomes a cog in the machine — when he is worn out, he can be easily and cheaply replaced. Why Don't You Get Into the Selling Field? Mr. Overstreet, Mr. Campbell and the others whose letters you see on this page are all successful salesmen. They realized their ambitions by landing $10,000 jobs in an amazingly simple-way. with the help and guidance of the National Salesmen's Training Association.
