Is YOUR Job Safe?—Is YOUR Business Paying?—Is YOUR Future Secure?



The Undermining Years



It was the report of President Hoover's Special Committee on Recent Economic, Business and Employment Changes that suggested this instructive picture entitled 
The Undermining Years.





Either Learn or Lose



We are living in a swiftly changing world where people whose knowledge is stale or incomplete cannot compete.




Everywhere employers are rapidly dropping from the payroll self-satisfied men and women who have quit learning.





The Unprepared Are Doomed



Job-destroying, laborsaving machines with electric brains and fingers of steel are daily forcing unprepared thousands out onto the dangerous Precipice of Employment and Business Uncertainty to face a jobless future.





Middle-Age Deadlines



The middle-age deadline employment policy is crowding countless numbers past age 35 over the Precipice of Employment Uncertainty because of neglect to keep their personalities and their knowledge up-to-date.  You can outwit the fatal middle-age deadline by acquiring new ideas and new knowledge.





Why Men and Women Fail



The Door of Opportunity is everywhere being slammed shut in the discouraged faces of smug, contented people who think they know enough.




Men and women fail because they neglect to learn HOW to meet the changing conditions of modern life.  Here is their chance to learn HOW.





Prepare or Perish



Out of a group of 25,000 industries 19,000 closed their executive offices throwing out of work vast armies of surprised employees who thought their jobs were safe.




More than 5,000 banks and 193,794 other business concerns reporting to the Government are either losing money or are not making enough to pay income tax.





Peoples University Service



The purpose of the Peoples University Service in presenting Brooks Fletcher and Martha Upton in the 15 informing programs outlined in this 8-page, illustrated booklet is to assist ambitious men and women to prepare themselves for the New Opportunities that are coming and to provide them with new moneymaking ideas and tested plans for securing better paying positions and getting more out of life.

ECAUSE of the astounding new inventions, increasing thousands of labor-saving machines, billion dollar combines, overproduction, chain stores, merciless new competition, the middle-age deadline employment policy, and other revolutionary changes that are swiftly coming, millions must prepare to readjust their lives and equip themselves with new knowledge.
