The Advanced Machinist: A Practical and Educational Treatise, With Illustrations (Classic Reprint)

In a certain high-class journal of a recent date, devoted to the interests of the class for whom this book of instruction is designed, there appeared under the heading Help Wanted, thirty-two paid advertisements in a single issue. Not a single one of these called for any except those possessing qualifications expressed as follows: Sober, first-class, good, competent, accurate experienced, undoubted ability, ambitious, able to handle men, skilled, with shop experience, executive ability, allaround, able to design, able to supervise construction, satisfactory men. The closest scrutiny fails to discover a wish for the opposite of those thus described, nor in the eleven paid advertisements under the heading of Situations Wanted, in the same paper, does there appear even one saying I am a second-class man hire me, as that would be money thrown away. Hence, the only call is for the kind of men classified as in the foregoing quoted words.
