(7)    With his tccth hc bends and breaks a stcci rod l in. thick and 5 ft. Iong. Twa men hang on each side of this rod, yet their weight is not quite sufficicnt to bcnd it. .VIr. Atlas gives a spceial vigorous jerk to accomplish this fcat.

(8)    He lifts a 50-pound dumb-beil from fhe fłoor over his head 78 timcs without stopping.

(9)    He chins himself thirty-four timcs without stopping.

These are but a fcw of thc cxtraordinarily diflicult feats Mr. Atlas pcrforms when hc is persuadcd to display his phcnornenal strcngth. Try some of thc abovć if you think thcy are easy. Ask thc most powerful inan you know to try thcm. PER HAPS AFTER SEARCHING FAR AND LONG YOU MAY DISCOVER SOMEONE WHO GAN DUPL1CATE ONE OF THE ABOVE BUT NO MAN LIVING HAS EVER EQUALLEI) ALL OF THEM!

It requircs morc than merc “immcdiatc” strcngth to accomplish what Charles Atlas docs. Most strong men can lift a great weight just once by a superhuman effort. But fcw of thcm have great endurance as well. Charles Atlas bas the power of continued endu rance and a rcscrve supply of superaoundant vitality that is cqunllcd by no other man.

In October, 1921. when thc Directors of the Physical Cul turę Magazine determined to discover the World’s Most Pcrfcct Man, Charles Atlas decidcd that hc would have a fair chance of winning. So, with thousands of others specially sclectcd because of their wondcrful bodics, he entered the contest. The verdict of Physical Culture Magazine was that Mr. Atlas was far superior to anyone who competed and he was awarded the FIRST PRIZE of $1,000.

One year latcr at Madison Squarc Garden, five famous judges of the małe physiąue yindicated thc vcrdict of Physical Culture Magazine and ainidst thunder-ous appiausc of the thousands of spectators again awarded Mr. Atlas the covcted FIRST PRIZE as the World's Most Perfect Man. Thus, for thc sccond timc, hc was sclectcd from among thousands as the finest built man thc world has ever scen. He was not only again awarded $1.000 but he also reccived a diploma ccrtifying that hc is ‘AMERICAN FINEST DEVELOPED MAN."

With all the honors conferjręd upon him, Mr. Atlas is modest and unassuming, and prefers to understate rather than boast. He is exceptionnlly conscicntious and anything he tells you can be depended upon. What he promises hc does.

Mr. Atlas has madę men strong, he has madę men hcalthy, he has built frail wealdings into superb spccimcns of manhood. Hc accomplishes rcsults upon thc bodies of people who have bcen givcn up as hopeless by all others. In this book, he promises to make you a real, red bloodcd. powerful and hcalthy man. Mc will do for you everything that he promises. I know he will because I know Charles Atlas.
