How to become a masterly
business letter writer

Never before has the study
of English and how to use it
in business been made so clear,
so simple, so fascinating and
profitable as in Mr. Cody's
four meaty little volumes, now
in use in 55,000 business con-
cerns. Here is placed before
you in short, crisp, five-minute
chapters the essence of an
entire college course in expres-
sion. Here the most complicated principles of writing and
speaking are analyzed by a master and given you in a form as
easy to learn and memorize as the mere English alphabet itself.

Name

THE RAILWAY MASTER MECHANIC

Is a monthly magazine of vital interest to every railroad man ambitious to advance. It
tells the story of the whirl of wheels in language the railroad man can understand. Its
sentences reek of the roundhouse, the shop, the crank shaft, the engine cab and the ca-
boose. The epitome of all that is new and up-to-date, in rolling stock, equipment and the
best railroad practice, from firing a locomotive properly to operating a 20,000 mile sys-
tem, is found here. It goes behind the tragedy of deadly wrecks, the dramatic episodes
of record runs and the romance of heroic deeds, and reasons from cause to effect, so
that you who live in the grime and smoke, know and understand why the engine failed,
the journal ran hot, or shop costs went up, not down.

If you are a railroad employee keen to succeed, alive to your opportunities—and
no calling offers greater you need it. The greatest men in the practical operation of
railroads today are men who rose from the ranks.

There are over 500 changes—mostly promotions-every month among officials of
railroad companies. Promotions are uniformly for merit alone. You stand an equal
chance with any man.
Are you qualified for an advance?

You can be if you improve your opportunities. The Railway Master Me-
chanic tells you all that is happening and why, in a plain, simple way. The men who
fill its pages were railroad men themselves. They talk to you with positive, personal
interest, because they are one of you and they are anxious at all times to have your
assistance and criticism in making this magazine of greater interest.
