To THE YOUNG MEN. OF SOUTHERN
INDIANA AND ILLINOIS, ALSO OF KEN
lucky AND TENNESSEE, AND TO AN
INTELLIGENT PUBLIC, we commend
the utility of our practical educational
advantages for young men and boys
to acquire thorough and accurate
knowledge of Double Entry Book
Keeping and the Science of Accounts,
through discipline in actual business
transactions, by means of samples and
warehouse receipts, which has won for
this College the approval of all the
prominent men of influence, as well
as the most distinguished educators of
our land. We do assure young men
that, in the arrangement of studies and
plan of operation, every advantage is
given them to qualify in the shortest
possible time, and at the least ex-
pense, to secure accuracy, for success
il business. 'h
We present to the public our system
Of actual business training with aeon
fidence in its merits inspired by many
years of experience in business, and
careful examinations of all the i'm
provements brought to light by the
researches of business men, 4 A.
Our theory department is only ini7
tiatory, and the student then takes
his place as an actual dealer in mer-3
chandise, cash, and all kinds ofdbusi7
ness paper, tfra2 ni GezaHoA bGe -
Every conceivable business trans
action is introduced, and the stu
dent must carry out the transaction
and make the proper. entries in his
books for the same, thereby coupling
the scholastic with the practical in
actual business.
We keep constantly before the mind
of the student the necessity of prompt
ness and accuracy in all his business
transactions.
Our Wholesale Mercantile Depart
ment and Banks are under the super
vision of men whose experience and
knowledge qualify them to fit young
men for any of the responsible posi-
tions in either of these departments
of business.
Our Steamboating, Railroad, and
Express Departments are so arranged
as to give the student practical
knowledge of the entire business Of
carrying both passenger and freight.
Thus the entire course has been
brought, by careful study and man
agement during the many years we
have devoted to this work, to its pres
ent perfection, making the course for
the student one of actual business ex-
perience. o5 q
We are not only the pioneers in the
cause of practical education, but the
head and front of the system of COM
bining theory and practice in teaching
the science of accounts. ~
Having obtained rfor Sam
pie and Sales Department in May,
1861, and organized the first College
of Trade in America, we are the only
Actual Business College in the West,
furnished with bona tide stock of
goods, samples of grain and ware
house receipts, for use in grain and
produce trade; and where banking
facilities are superintendent by an ex-
perienced banker.
