Takes Years of Preparation, but
There Is No Limit to Price of One
Who Keeps Pace With Mechani
cal and Commercial Invention.
It takes yearn for man to prepare himtelf for $10,000 obt, and
this tack of preparation is the cause of the dearth of these men.
The moving machinery made by man ha travelled overwhelm
ingly falter than man himtelf.
Inventions have $o crowded the commercial arena that man hat
not been able to cope with them at fatt at they appear.
Nine billion dollars it the approximate turn invested in the
inventions of one man, Edison.
The man uho reaches the $10,000 point in he rcho not only knuurt
his own work thoroughly, but that of the man ahead of him.
The way to promote and drutr out the best In the minds of men
is the constant meeting of groups in discussion waut and means
The $10,000 man is only possible after a lonn apprenticeship in

This 1s a "get together" age and the man u ho lommands thf bin

No longer is it a question of brawn at much as brain. The day
ha come when we need statesmanship in business and business in

The art of the $10,000 man is to supervise, regulate and control
