why Gaines street was graded. why Perry

why Aldermen can employ men, do work,

DAVIS Il TIpToN's MERCANTILE

DAVIS d TIPToN's MERCANTILE
CoLLEGk-One of the peculiar features OF
the educational systems of the day. is that
they are rapidly being adapted to the prac.
tical wants of the community In this busy
and progressive age, when every man has
or should have his mission, and to the ac-
complishment of which every energy should
be devoted, comparatively few have eth er
the leisure or means to avail themselves of
what is termed a "liberal education" The
idea of prac.icabtlity is the ruling order of
the day among our American people, and no
nation has as yet achieved the victories in
applying science to the business purposes of
lite, as ours.
Mercantile Colleges are of recent origin.
They were established to meet one of the
great demands of the times, for the pur pose
of affording increased facilities to young
men for acquiring in an expeditions manner
and at a very small pecuniary outlay, q
thorough knowledge Of Commercial Science
and Art, such as would avail them in their
future business career, whether mercantile,
mechanical, agricultural, or what not, either
as clerks or principals. A well conducted
institution of this character, comprises in
its course Of instruction, the science of ac-
counts and its collateral branches, penman-
ship. mercantile law, political economy.
etc. The great value Of commercial educa
ton is now conceded fact, and thousands
Of young men have availed themselves Of its
advantages. as protection against fraud in
their business intercourse with the world
Messrs. Davis d Upton have now in cue.
cessful operation two Mercantile Colleges.
connecting two Of the most enterprising and
beautiful cities of the West-Davenport and
Peoria.
The course of study pursued at these Col
leges is extensive and practical, and CON-
prehends everything requisite for the quail
ification of young man for business pur-
suits. The forms used are mostly obtained
direct from first class business houses in the
various departments, and none are permit
ted to enter into the course Of the student
except they are approved by the best bu-
siness men in our large cities. We can speak
knowingly Of the form represented In this
institution for keeping the accounts in a
printing and publishing house, as We have
ourselves adopted the same and find it high
ly practical and just to the point.
To the young man we would say, procure
a Scholarship for Davis d Tptons Mercan-
tile College" and devote the time required
to master the course Of study prescribed
there, thoroughly, when you will have
awarded to you one Of those beautiful di-
plomas, which when you have secured it
will be sure passport to future success
The graduates Of Princeton. Harvard and
Yale, take an honest pride in this endorse
ment of merit. So does tho young man who
is qualified for business.
