"The continuity of dividend pay-

What Other
College Men Have Done
With Kresge
"Graduating from Western Reserve
University in 1921, Ibegan business life
with an idea that I was fitted for mana-
gerial work. I left my comfortable desk
work and started in the stockroom. Then
I worked successively as floor manager,
assistant manager, and manager.
I then received my biggest promotion,
and today I am happily located in an ex-
ecutive position, with increased respon-
sibilities.
The financial return that has come to me
exceeds all that Ilhad expected."
Colby B. S. 15-Wesleyan M. S. 1917
-A Phi Beta Kappa man became an
instructor until 1920, then assistant head
chemist for an Eastern manufacturer
until 1922 wher he entered the Kresge
organization to take the training course.
He is now a manager of a Kresge store
and claims: "Today°I find myself receiv-
ing a greater income than the teachers
and industrial acquaintances who sought
to discourage me for making such a
radical change of occupation."

A Missouri University graduate enthu-
siastically relates the following:
"In June of 1923, just after I had been
presented with my much treasured sheep-
skini, a gray haired gentlemen with years
of experience said to me: Just what the
future holds for you will depend largely
on the seeds you sow during the next few-
years. Take my advice and selec some
good company, begin at the bottom and
work your way to the top.'
I followed his advice by starng in the
stockroom of a Kresge store on Decem-
ber 8, 1923.
Today I am managing my first store,
happy in the thought that I aim on the
road to success."

A FTER the years of college then there comes
to many men the most trying period
of their careers. What place does the world
have for them? For what niche has their train-
ing best suited them? Where do they fit?
It is to these seniors who have ndt yet fully
decided on their future that this advertisement
is addressed.
The S. S. Kresge Company has an opportunity
for college men who are ambitious enough and
capable enough to reach the top - yet who are
willing to start at the- bottom. These men we
train to be store managers and to occupy other
executive positions-well paid positions involv-
ing a share in the Kresge profits. The men
selected are given intensive preparation for their
future executive positions, they are instructed
in every detail of store management and they
are advanced as rapidly as they become familiar
with the Kresge policy and the Kresge methods
of merchandising. The work is not easy but the
reward is not small-an executive position in
the Kresge organization which operates 510
stores with an annual volume of business- close
to $150,000,000.
If a career such as those described here appeals
to you, write our Personnel Department and' a
Kresge representative wll' be sent to give you a
personal interview..
