What Leading Newspapers Say About Elsie Lincoln Benedict and Her Work


"Over fifty thousand people heard Elsie Lincoln Benedict at the City
Auditorium during her six weeks lecture engagement in Milwaukee."--
_Milwaukee Leader, April 2, 1921._


"Elsie Lincoln Benedict has a brilliant record. She is like a fresh
breath of Colorado ozone. Her ideas are as stimulating as the
health-giving breezes of the Rockies."--_New York Evening Mail, April
16, 1914._


"Several hundred people were turned away from the Masonic Temple last
night where Elsie Lincoln Benedict, famous human analyst, spoke on 'How
to Analyze People on Sight.' Asked how she could draw and hold a crowd
of 3,000 for a lecture, she said: 'Because I talk on the one subject on
earth in which every individual is most interested--himself.'"--_Seattle
Times, June 2, 1920._


"Elsie Lincoln Benedict is a woman who has studied deeply under genuine
scientists and is demonstrating to thousands at the Auditorium each
evening that she knows the connection between an individual's external
characteristics and his inner traits."--_Minneapolis News, November 7,
1920._


"Elsie Lincoln Benedict is known nationally, having conducted lecture
courses in many of the large Eastern cities. Her work is based upon the
practical methods of modern science as worked out in the world's leading
laboratories where exhaustive tests are applied to determine individual
types, talents, vocational bents and possibilities."--_San Francisco
Bulletin, January 25, 1919._
