What is the Alexander Hamilton Institute ? IN 19 years we have never answered that question to our own satisfaction. If we tell you it’s a Course of Study, you think" of your student days and decide you have neither the time nor the inclination to do that sort of thing., If we say it *s a Service which will help you solve the problems which baffle you (and if will do just that), we fail" to give you any idea of the fundamental bigness of the Institute. Now let’s get right down to cases. You must know that you don't know much about business a* a whole. Your own line you do know. You know what experience has taught you. That is all. You may be an excellent salesman without much knowledge of finance, business promotion, law or accounting. You may be a qualified accountant with only a superficial understanding of selling, advertising or production. Yet in the upper reaches of business all these factors become women together. Sooner or later, unless you understand the basic principles which govern all business, activity, you get up against a blank wall—you are helpless. Then you grope, make mistakes, and perhaps go on the rocks. Now the Alexander Hamilton Institute is simply a coherent concentration of these basic principles into a form _ suitable and easy for a busy driving business man to absorb. You need it—there’s no doubt of that. But you hate to answer advertisements. That ‘cloak of resistance is already dropping over your mind. Yet there’s really a good deal at stakewhy not tak'’ a chance? We won’t pester you. We will simply send you a let which tells about the Institute, and then, if you wish, an extremely well-posted representative will make a determined effort to convince you that the Alexander Hamilton Institute is the finest, strongest ally ambition ever had. May we hear from vou call on you, show’ you the course, tell you who is using it in New Zealand, show vou some evidence of what they got out or it
