From the President of the American Commerce Associatior CHICAGO, Ill.-I am writing this, now being wasted through lack of letter as a last resort to see if we can- efficiency in applying the Govern- not secure more men willing to ment Freight Rate System. 1 qualify for traffic positions paying $2,500 to $10,000 a year. How important is the trained traffic man's work can be seen by these few cases out of thousands which occur every day. A. concern in South ☐ Chicago had been shipping about 200 cars of Coke from Connellsville to their smelters. Some time ago a traffic expert succeeded in getting a rate adjustment which resulted in a saving of about $5.00 on each car. Thus' on this one item alone a saving of over $300,000 a year was effected. In St. Louis, through misrouting of freight, errors in reconsigning cars and undercharges on shipments, a railroad lost over $27,000. Realizing the crying demand for trained traffic experts, and seeking relief, the American Commerce Association-a national organization OF traffic men, FOR traffic men, BY traffic men, offers to give men the training required to make them competent to handle the problems of most economical distribution. The instruction is given by mail and can be studied in spare time, at home. The most complete and thorough training is given, and through the Association costs but a few cents a day. Through its Advisory Council, every member of the American Commerce Association receives the help of the most prominent traffic men in America. A traffic expert discovered that It is impossible to go into details in freight rates paid by the Meeker Coal this letter, but the Association has Co. were legal but exorbitant. A published a remarkable book for disruling secured from the Interstate tribution without cost which explains Commission resulted in a refund of everything in detail and tells how $120,000. There are about 50,000 large business corporations and about 400,000 smaller shippers which must be protected by competent traffic men. These concerns have freight expenses running from a few thousand dollars to many thousands of dollars 1 any one may learn the new profession of traffic manager. If you are at all interested in getting into this highly profitable field, paying good salaries, write for the remarkable book, for which we make no charge. Please state whether you are a beginner or whether you have had previous traffic experience, and give your present age and occupation. Address American Commerce Asso monthly.
