Oa&Catoteqie-^ Author of "How to Win Friends and Influence People*" Jobs Were Scarce Then, Too A few years ago a young man was going to do what thousands upon thousands of boys and girls will do this spring. Graduate from college! And he wanted a job when he got out. This is how he went about getting it. His name was George H. Bucher. He was born in Sun bury, Pa. He wanted to be an electrical engineer, and after graduating from the high school in Sunbury, went to Pratt Institute in Brook lyn. It is the custom of engineer ing companies to go to such tech nical schools and select the best men in the class to work for them after graduation. Three of the big electrical companies came to this school and made their selec tions. But George H. Bucher was not among those selected. He was desperately disappointed, but he was going to be an elec trical engineer and nothing under high heaven could stop him. The students who had been se lected hung their diplomas on their parlor walls and went off to their jobs. Young George Bucher started out to get a job. He se lected the electrical company he wanted to work for. He knew no one connected with the company. The only way was to write to them. He worked out a letter telling them the kind of work he was fitted to do and how he could help them. Then he added his telephone number, put it into the mail, and sat down to wait for the call. A week passed. No call. He wrote another letter, add ing more facts, enclosed a car When Thirst Calls m, REACH FOR V&W BEVERAGES Pf GINGER M HHjjj \ 12 FULL OUNCES Twelve Full Ounces of Delicious Refreshments in a Distinctive New Bottle!

DEALER McNEIL'S BEVERAGES BOTTLED EXCLUSIVELY BY ELKIN BOTTLING CO. Phone 209 EUdn, N. C. bon copy of the first letter, and again sat down to wait. No call. He wrote a third letter, en closed a carbon copy of letter number 2. No answer. Meantime, he kept on studying and learning about the electrical business. He wrote another let ter telling them this. No answer. During the summer he wrote eight letters. Finally an answer did come. "Come for an interview," it said; and the young college graduate galloped in as fast as he could. "Well, we've got a job fcir you," said the employment man ager. Young Bucher's face beam ed. At last! "It's winding coils. Pays 18 cents an hour." His face fell. A college grad uate. Eighteen cents an hour. Then he perked up. "I'll take it."' He worked hard, devoting his time to learning the business. Finally he was taken out of ov eralls and given a clerk's job in the export department. Mean time he studied the business; not merely his department but all departments, and especially the ones above him. Of course a man like that is bound to succeed. He did. The former coil-winder is now presi dent of one of the largest elec trical manufacturing companies on earth: Westinghouse. If you have a hard time getting a job, remember that George H. Bucher had similar difficulties. Why not do as he did; study and persist and take any job you can get, no matter how small the pay. Take it and prepare yourself for something better.
