Opportunities
The demand for show-card writers is far greater than the supply. Every small town offers an opening for one or more, who would make a good living at the trade in that locality.
How Men Are Trained
Many card writers are trained in the shop. Correspondence courses afford fair advantages to the man who must save time and money, but personal supervision is of great advantage, and personal criticism is essential if a correspondence course is taken. Courses in card writing are now offered in technical schools and Y. M. C. A. classes and vocational schools all over the country. Among the schools now offering courses in show-card writing are the following:
Federal School of Commercial Art, Minneapolis, Minn.
Idaho Technical Institute.
Los Angeles Y. M. C. A. schools.
St. Louis Y. M. C. A. schools.
Lowry Sign and Advertising Service, Chicago.
Link’s Business College, Boise, Idaho.
