Get off the Farm & Get on with your Life!
Not keen on spending the rest of your l ife trudging behind a plow al l day? T ired of worrying about the weather, and whether you' l l have a harvest this Fall? Had enough of “watching the corn grow” as your favor ite weekend entertainment? Well Bub, have we got a deal for you. . .Come on in to the c ity, and see what you've been missing. Lights! Activity! The hustle & bustle & hubbub of excitement!! Get a job in no t ime at al l , and get a wage you can wr ite home about! Work as much as you want. . .make as much $$ as you want. And in your free t ime, take in a show at the theater. . .vis it with fr iends at the park. . . see the exotic animals at the zoo!
Now's the time to get out of that “rut” you cal l a l ife, and make something of yourself . Or do you real ly want to look at a horse ' s ass for the rest of your l ife?
Are you a Team Player?Come work for the Railroad!
Travel! Glamour! Excitement!! Wanderlust causing an itch you just have to scratch? Now's your chance to see the world (or at least part of it , here in the good ol ' US of A. ) Be a part of the “Westward Expansion”. We're looking for quite a few good men to help build the roads that wil l connect our country from coasttocoast. Imagine the thr il l of going where few have gone before, doing what few have done before. . . laying down track so that others might fol low. Here 's a job you can really put your back into. And who knows? You just may discover muscles you never knew you had.
Sledging the spikes not quite your “cup of tea”? Then jo in one of our blasting crews. Throw that stick of dynamite, run l ike hel l , and watch the good times roll . . . just watch out for that occasional rocksl ide! Talk about a blast!! You're sure to wake the neighbors with this kind of work. With this kind of job, the best part is that you get to make the mess and let someone else clean it up for you. And at the end of the day, after you've counted all your f ingers and toes, you can go to sleep knowing you did a bangup job.
Sti l l not convinced? Give us just e ighteen months, and we' l l give you a real man's job , doing a real man's work, earning a real man's wage. . .working alongside other real men. And at the end of that time (provided you're sti l l al ive) , you can hold your head high and show the world that you've got what it takes to get this country movi
