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. [Illustration: A few of our students getting actual experience.] [Illustration: Each student works alone--showing the separate apartments.] 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average practical automobile school, and we might say every last one of them, instruct their students on old, worn-out, out-of-date machines, which are ready for the junk pile, and what they learn on those old relics will do them no good, in fact, they might better have taken no schooling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. [Illustration: A view of our lecture room.] [Illustration: A corner in our machine shop.] 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. [Illustration: A few of our students out driving in a car they 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. [Illustration: One of our cars which students are instructed to operate.] 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. [Illustration: A Chauffeur's picnic with C. A. Coey's colored mascot in the foreground.] 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?"
