Records of I.C.S. TRAINED MEN THAT the I. C. S. can really provide you with a training that brings promotion, greater earnings, and success is an absolute fact proved by actual statistics. We can provide you with the names and addresses of more than 100,000 men who have tried and tested the T. C. S. system by their own actual experiences and have found it to be all that we claim. JUNIOR TO SUBSTATION ATTENDANT When I enrolled in the Schools, I was employed as electrical junior, I am now a substation attendant employed by the New South Wales Government Railway., and Tramways. My wages have increased 100 per cent. Before joining the Schools, my knowledge of mechanical or electrical work was very limited, but I can now solve any problem with which I have met in mechanical engineering and I have also made great progress in electrical work. James J. Cvff, 24 Riley St., Sydney, N. S. W„ Aus. A STORY OF ACHIEVEMENT When I enrolled in the Complete Sign Painting Course, I had no special training. After about six months’ study, I aspired for exhibition honors also recognition, and have had a rather remarkable record, viz.; Ist Prize, Gold Medal and Diploma, Hawera Exhibition. 1904, for Gilding and Lettering; Ist Prize, Stratford Exhibition (Technical), for Sign Writing; Ist Prize, Stratford Exhibition, Pen Competition, Design for Diploma; Ist Prize, New Plymouth Exhibition (Industrial), for Gilding, Lettering, and Glass Embossing; Special Gold Medal, New Plymouth, for Design of Diploma; Ist Prize, I.C. S. Competition for Sign Writing, New Zealand International Exhibition. I have had offer of instructorship at Technical School in Lettering and Sign Painting, North Island. Through the kindness of your Representative, I secured a position as sign painter and glass embosser with one of the largest shops in New Zealand. J. D. Hamilton, Christchurch, N. Z. INCREASED HIS SALARY When I enrolled in the Schools, I was an assistant to an electric-light wireman. lam now a wireman. employed by the Electric Light Supply Co., at Charters Towers, and my' salary has been increased since. The books on Interior Wiring have been of great benefit to me in my work, and the manager of the works has taken a greater interest in me since he knew that I had taken a Course in the I. C. S. The method of instruction is simple and can be mastered by any one. Jambs Cass'elle, Oxford St,, Charters Towers, Queensland, Aus. QUALIFIED FOR COUNTY ENGINEER The Civil Engineering Course has been of use to me. lam well qualified now if Iso desire to accept the position of county engineer or engineer in charge of any engineering work, although I have not fully completed the Bridge Engineering Course. It is my intention eventually to apply for membership in the Institute of Civil Engineers and the knowledge I am now gaining from your Course will be sufficient to satisfy the demands of the examiner of that body. W. F. Robinson, Hokitika, N. Z. PROMOTION AND INCREASED SALARY When I enrolled in-the Schools, I was a letter carrier in the Postal Department, West Australia. At present.l am employed as relieving money order clerk, telegraph operator, and savings bank clerk, with an increase in salary. In my opinion the method of instruction cannot be very well improved. To me it was so thorough that I was enabled to pass every Question Paper without asking for any additional explanation. A. E. Crisp, Coolgardie, W. Aus. QUALIFIED TO PASS EXAMINATION When I enrolled in the Schools, I was employed as an engineer. My present position is that of marine engineer. The knowledge gained from the Course has enabled me to pass the New Zealand Government Examination for first-class engineer and third-class marine engineer. Vincent Rees Earnshaw, 5 Daly St., Port Chalmers, Otago, N. Z. JOURNEYMAN CARPENTER INCREASES SALARY When I enrolled in the Schools, I was a journeyman carpenter, Mv salary has been increased from 50 to 150 per cent. I consider the Bound Volumes a great deal of assistance; the oftener they are read, the better and the easier the work becomes. I found it impossible to do different and difficult drawings without closely following instructions in Bound Volumes. I cannot speak too highly of the I. C. S. 1 could not believe it possible to learn by mail until a practical engineer who had been a student proved it to me. John MacDonald, Manganeka, N. Z.
