We want to find out if you can be trained to be a successful, money-makin- company but as an artist in' the advertising department. At a big increase in payl Eric Ericson used to be a clerk in an auto parts department. Thanks to our training, he is now an art director at seven times the salary he was making when he enrolled. This offer is part of a program we began ten years ago. We found that many men and women who should have become artists didnt Most of them hesitated to find out how much hidden art talent they had. Others who knew they had talent simply never had the opportunity to get topnotch professional training. My colleagues and I decided to do something about this. Taking time off from our busy art careers, we pooled the extensive knowledge of art, the professional knowhow, and the priceless trade secrets which we ourselves were able to learn only through long, successful experience. We illustrated this knowledge with 5,000 special drawings; then organized it into a series of lessons covering every aspect of drawing and painting . . . lessons that anyone could take right in their own homes and in their spare time. Finally after much testing we perfected what is probably the most personal and effective method of criticizing a students drawings and paintings that the field of art teaching has ever known. Our program of art training is now well known and respected all over America. During the past ten years, we have helped thousands of people find success in art Here are just a few: Don Smith lives in New Orleans. Three years ago Don knew nothing about art-edoubted he had talent. Today, he is an illustrator with a leading advertising agency in the South and has a future as big as he wants to make it Harriet Kuzniewski was bored with an ordinary job when she sent for our talent test Once convinced that she had the makings of an artist she started to study art at home.
