bile dealers and private owners to secure competent men. Auto experts earn $75.00 to $200.00 a month, uorne ot them a great
deal more. Scorea of our graduates now hold these responsible places because they can do expert work.
The Oklahoma Farmer says:
"You have a wonderful Institution. It is easy to s«e
why your graduates yet the best paying positions."
That's what the representative of this great farm journal said after he had
Carefully inspected every department of the Automobile Training School.
Every visitor, every student,
every graduate saya the same. The
Automobile Training School is an in-
stitution that invites inspection. It is
a practical school. We have ten
different class rooms equipped with
tnousands of dollars worth of Auto-
mobiles, engines, magnetos, chassis,
gears, lathes—in fact every kind of
automobile equipment and machii.v *y.
But we regard our Garage and Repair
Department as the most important
factor in our instruction.
Scorea of Automobiles arc brought
here for repair and adjustment. Our ntudents
lay aside their Rood clothes, don overalls, and
under the careful guidance of our oliicers and
members of the faculty, learn by practieal
experience how to repair quickly any make
of automobile. This is a kind of instruction t hat
other schools can not offer. In this great Gar-
age and Repair Department our students are
taught the details of garage management, h« w
to buy and sell automobiios, as well as to Ho
Expert Repair Work. It is here they gain that
practical experience and expert know-
ledge that, secures for the graduates of th*
school the highest salaried positions as Automo-
bile Salesmen, Demonstrators, Garage Mana-
gers, Repair Men and Drivers.
Garage Owners
Make Big Money
Almost any town is a good location
for a garage and repair shop if there are ten or
more cars in the locality. In our oflice we have
many letters from businessmen who have asked
us to place a graduate of our school in their city,
and have him open a repair shop. We are glad
to help our graduates find profitable locations.
The earnings of a properly conducted garage in
a good community should be from $1,000 to $5,000
a yrar.
No Books Used!
No Tools to Buy!
The Automobile Training School hasnopretty
pict ure books, and offers no charts or corre-
spondence courses. These things don't teach
you the automobile business so that you can go
out and get a big salary. All our students re-
ceive individual practical instruction under
practica' conditions on real un-to-date automo-
biles. The progress of each student
