Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 152, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 July 1917 — Last Call For Big Men Of the Middle West. [ARTICLE]

Last Call For Big Men Of the Middle West.

Hundreds of thousands of young men are responding whole-heartedly and their call of selective service; many thousands of men slightly older are in training at the officers’ camps for their work as first and second lieutenants. Now Uncle Sam calls on thousands more, slightly older, to volunteer for the more responsible positions as captains, majors and lieutenant-col-onels. For these places he must have men who have proved their ability in everyday life, men of ability, men of judgment, men who decide quickly and wisely, men trained by experience to take orders and to give them, men who do things. He must have men like you—the junior partner in a successful business, the responsible executive in a large concern, the manager in a wholesale house, the superintendent of a department, the foreman of high man power; the son of thirty-five who stepped into father’s shoes a few years ago. » Applications must be in the hands of the examining officer not later than Monday, July 16th. Applications may be obtained at this office.
