PAGE 6 Thursday, September 11* 1958 The Battalion College Station (Brazos County), Texas CALLING ALL ENGINEERS Texas A&M College has long been noted for the quality and quantity of Engineers it annu- i ally produces- Today a degree in Engineering from A&M College is virtually a pass-port to a good beginning position with an up and coming firm. From there on in — of course — it is up to the individual to produce. During the 1957-58 long session^ 3814 — or 48% — of the total enrollment of 797G students in A&M College were majoring in some phase of Engineering. As of August 15,1958,67 V2 % of the new student transcripts accepted by the Director of Admissions, indicated a ma jor in Engineering. In the present highly mechanized, automated, atomically energized and nuclear fissioned age in which we find ourselves living -ENGINEERS are of PRIME IMPOR TANCE. For students entering the study of ENGINEERING, it is also of PRIME IMPOR TANCE that they equip themselves with the very best TOOLS OF THE TRADE. Some thing "JUST AS GOOD AND A LOT CHEAPER" often times will not suffice. Your FRIENDLY COLLEGE EXCHANGE STORE — with 51 years of successful service to TEXAS AGGIES — has made a sincere effort to provide you — THE CREAM OF THE CROP — with the very best TOOLS available, at a price you can well afford to pay. In America to-day there are certain reputable, tried and true manufacturers and import ers of these very essential TOOLS. There are also other vendors whose claims of ex cellence are yet to be proven and whose reputation is yet in the making. Your FRIENDLY COLLEGE EXCHANGE STORE — down through the past 51 years - has followed a policy of offering only those products which have been field tested and proven as to quality and serviceability. Fly-by-nights and Johnny-Come-Lately^s get short shrift from our buyers. Price has never been a major consideration in our selection of Engineering Supplies. First and foremost our buyers look for proven quality, stamina and long lasting serv ice in Drawing Sets, Slide Rules and other items of Engineering supply. Second they evaluate character, reputation and record of performance of the vendor and his willing ness to stand behind his products. Third — and last — they look at the price tag. We would be the first to admit you can go elsewhere and BUY IT CHEAPER, but we would be the last to admit you can find better quality and service elsewhere. Someone has said you get out of life what you put into it and we say you get what you pay for in ENGINEERING SUPPLIES! We are franchised dealers for the very excellent products of the Eugene Dietzgen Com pany, the Keuffel and Esser Company, and the Frederick Post Company. Their collec tive years of experience and service to the Engineering Profession exceed — perhaps one hundred-fold — the experience of all other manufacturers and importers of engi neering equipment combined.
