Then 

they  marry,  and  in  their  early 
thirties  the  conviction  comes  to them  that 
they  are  not  making  as  rapid  progress  as 
they  ought.

The  average  age  of  the  J<^,ooo  men  enrolled  in

In  Oliver  words  they  are no  longer  boys,  but  men,

" W h e re  am  I  going to  be in  business  ten  years  from

There  is  an  answer  to  that  question  in  "Forging

coming  for  advice  about  their  future.  If you  are  such 
a  man,  you  should  know  enough  about  the  Institute
