Ten Weeks Sufficient

There is no reason why one cannot finish our course in the allotted time of ten weeks, but no charge will be made if more time is required, as we desire above everything to give you such a course that your efficiency will make your work a pleasure.

Your work can be done as well thousands of miles away as if you were on the ground at our School.

If you contemplate purchasing a machine, you could not do better than to first take our course, when you will be able to judge better on your own account precisely what style of machine is peculiarly adapted to your needs and your particular section of the country.

We can be of great service to you in choosing a machine. Some machines are better adapted to certain localities than others; for instance, a hilly or sandy country requires a low geared, light weight, high powered machine, and you can rest assured on getting our unbiased opinion.

Our course has been taken by many ladies who own or contemplate owning a machine, and they are among those who are most emphatic in praising our method of teaching.

Remember

It is a nice thing to understand a motor, whether you ever intend to drive one or not.

* * *

No one should purchase an automobile without first taking our course.

* * *

The man who buys a motor car without first learning one will live to regret the day.

* * *

Astonishing, but nevertheless true, not one-half of the machines manufactured are fit to be placed on the market. Do you know the reason why?

* * *

Never buy a car with the weak point, every other car has it, take our course and be able to select the right one.

* * *

Motoring is easy and pleasant, if you are its master, but if you are not, you had better stay at home.

* * *

Whether you spend most of your time under the car or on the car, depends on whether or not you understand it.

* * *

A thousand things can happen to a motor, any one of which is easily remedied if you know where to begin.

* * *

A Diploma is valuable when backed by one who is prominent in the automobile world, and with a _COEY DIPLOMA_ at your back, you are independent for life.

Our Practical Course

There is, perhaps, no place in this wide world where the student can get such thorough training as at our factory. We are the only ones in this country who have a factory where up-to-date automobiles are actually built by students.

The average practical automobile school, and we might say every last one of them, instruct their students on old, worn-out, out-of-date machines, which are ready for the junk pile, and what they learn on those old relics will do them no good, in fact, they might better have taken no schooling at all, as such work only tends to confuse and mislead them. For if a person once learns to do a thing the wrong way, he usually keeps on doing it and it is hard to get out of the habit. And that is the reason why our students have been successful in filling fine, easy, and well paying positions, because they are instructed on up-to-date machines in an up-to-date manner.

In our factory we teach a student the art of automobile building, and teach him to drive the machine he himself has helped to build.

He takes it from the ground up, under the very best trained and skilled mechanics and instructors in America, and when he has finished he can command big wages.

It requires from three to eight weeks to go through our factory, all depending on the aptness of the student. We try to get our students through as quickly as possible, but we will not issue a Diploma until in our estimation he is qualified to fill any position in connection with an automobile.

Since you have decided to take up the automobile business, the question naturally arises, "Where can I learn it the best? and after I have learned it, which school is in better shape to help me to get a good paying position?"

Any school will tell you they will assist you, but what does that mean? It means simply nothing at all because there is nothing behind it. Assistance will do you no good unless you get the position.

The President of the United States could give you any kind of a position you could ask for, because he has the influence, so could the Governor of your state--influence is what counts. You stand a far better chance of getting a good paying position through our School--yes, ten to one, better than in any other school in the world.

Anyone with ordinary intelligence can write a book on automobile instruction--anyone can run an advertisement in the paper and get replies, and send out glowing literature, and get letters from prominent automobile men and dealers and manufacturers, but when it comes to getting you a position that is where they are weak.

We could name one auto school owner in the middle West and one in the East, who were never in the automobile business, and who do not even now own one. They send out glowing advertisements and secure letters from auto manufacturers and dealers to help them get started, but if you can find where a single person has ever secured a position through these letters or through their influence, excepting a few whom they have paid themselves in order to get some recommendations, we will send you our course free.

Do you know that Mr. Coey is the only one of any importance in the automobile world whatsoever who is connected with an automobile school? Do you know that he is the only one who is engaged in handling high grade motor cars? And last but not least, not another person in the world running an automobile school has any connection with an automobile factory. So what does it mean?

Just this--that instead of a few ex-chauffeurs or ex-clerks banding together and calling themselves an auto school, we have as our head a _real automobile man_, one with vast interests and prominently connected in many branches of the business, and one who can secure you a position.

Send your application in today and commence at once.

Yours for success,
