Opportunities Lik Edison had are

WAITING FOR YOU

The inventions of Thomas Edison have affected the lives of people every¬ where. They have created entire industries ours, for example.

Under America’s Free Enterprise system, inventive people like Edison can expect special compensations profit, honor and satisfaction.

The hope of attaining such rewards has been one of our nation’s greatest incentives to progress. It is a goal that prods imagi¬ native minds in their quests for new products and methods.

Not everyone can be a Thomas Edison. However, every trained, dedicated graduate can anticipate a full measure of our society’s rewards. All it takes is a willingness to work harder and contribute more.
