POOR ENGLISH!

How much is it costing you in wasted opportunity?

Every day your associates are judging you. By what you say and how you say it. Hary ideas, ill-chosen words, halting sentences, crude, slovenly speech-theso mark a man as loose in thinking. Thoughts clear-cut, words that give true shape and colour, sentences aflame with power and originality-these are the things that proclaim abilify, that win for their users swift advancement !

Make Your Words Reflect Your True Ability

Stop apologizing for poor English-it's inexcusable In the quiet of your home with La Salle's help you can learn to speak and write with real distinction, learn to make the words you utter and the letters you compose stamp you as educated, cultured, a power to reckon with de the business world
