Chapter V
THE QUESTION BEFORE YOU
A serious business question is now confronting you. It is important that you should consider it fairly and calmly and that you should promptly make up your mind for or against it. The facts are all before you.
The question is whether or not you should enrol for the Modern Business Course and Service. Think over the arguments pro and con.
You know that the Course and Service will bring you a better understanding of sound business principles; that it will give you increased self-confidence; ability to plan more effectively and to decide business questions more quickly and surely. You will find yourself with increased ability to handle men. You will probably enjoy more leisure; you will certainly earn a larger income.
You are well enough acquainted with the standing and reputation of the men behind the Alexander Hamilton Institute to know that the Modern Business Course and Service must be of the highest quality. And for the same reason you know that it naturally is offered to you at a very moderate fee.
The fee for the Modern Business Course and Service is $136 in the United States. This covers, without any additional expense, the Texts, Talks, Lectures, Problems Monthly Letters, Financial and Trade Reviews, Reports and all necessary personal help. The complete set of 24 Text volumes comes at once, and the other literature at convenient intervals.
If the Course is worth anything at all, the fee is slight in comparison with the results that will follow. The fee may be paid in convenient terms.
Make your decision
Certain objections may occur to you:
_You have other uses for your money--_
No doubt; yet none of them is as necessary to your successful business career as the Modern Business Course and Service.
_You are too busy--_
Everybody who amounts to anything is busy; yet never "too busy" to acquire knowledge so important as this.
_You have a debt to pay off, or a trip to take, or you would rather "think it over--"_
These arguments are unsound from every point of view. No man, in justice to himself, or to those who may be dependent upon him, should deny himself this opportunity to make an investment that will yield large dividends one, two and three years from today.
In the coming struggle for world markets, there will be a great need for men of broad, executive training. For men who are prepared, there will be more opportunities to succeed in a big way than ever before.
It is false economy, therefore, to postpone for a single day a decision that will enable you to push beyond the half-way mark and forge ahead in business.
You are a business man, trained to make decisions. The simple facts are before you now. Weigh the arguments; then act.
