Calls for Office Help Many More Needed The new year has started with a flood of calls upon our Employment Department. Frankly, at this rate, we’re going to be far behind in meeting these demands. The calls are for ambitious, energetic, success-seeking young men and women who are definitely and specially prepared. Business is big, mighty and complex. It wants young people who are equipped to start as bookkeepers and stenographers who can soon move up to accounting, secretarial and managerial positions. That is one of the biggest reasons foi the constant and numerous demands for beginners. As you probably know, the business colleges are locked to, and expected, to find young men and women who are willing to make the necessary preparation to recruit the forces. That's our job. We believe there are hundreds, even thousands, whose character, genera) education and natural qualifications make them fully eligible to prepare for these places. Maybe you’re one. If so, count yourself “in on it.” It's your opportunity. If this is your ambition, push yourself to the front. Bea “go-getter,” not a “yes, but-er.” Find a way to do it, not an excuse NOT to do it. Join hands with the forces that make for success. This is the Indiana Business College of Indianapolis. The others are at Marion, Muncie, Logansport, Anderson, Kokomo, Lafayette, Columbus, Richmond and Vincennes—Chas. C. Cring, president, and Ora E. Butz, general manager.
