PROSPEROUS CONDITION
OF Goodmau's Business Colleges.

We learn fIom reliable authority that
he cash receipts OF Goodman's Business
Colleges during the past month. amounted
10 more than all the other Business Col
leges in the State, combined.
The question is asked, "Why do stu |
dents pay Prof. Goodman more than other |
colleges charge 2" We would answer, That
they consider mis- course more thorough and
perfect than that given by other colleges,
and further. that his students are SO very
successful in procuring business situations,
and filing such positions with credit to
to the colleges from which
they graduated and to the satisfaction of
their employers" This fact is attested by
the number of applications Prof Goodman
has from business men to furnish them
with assistants. Applications for book
keepers and business assistants are
made to Professor Goodman at such q rate
that he cannot supply the demand. Even
while On the train coming to Knoxville
last week, Mr.. Louis Colyar, manager of
Rising Sun (Ga.) Iron Wo,ks, made sp-
plicaton to the professor for books
keeper at the works, a request the professor
could not grant for want CT material.
This ard other like applications
60 far toward answering the questions
why students prefer Gnodmans 10 other
Business Colleges, even at the higher rates
of tuition charged.
We also have noticed during the past
week that Mr. T. D. Flippen, general aus
ditor of the Cole system of railroads, has
engaged in his off g in this city, three of
Professor Goodman's former students,
namely, Sir. Allen j. Poston, lately en-
p;oyed in the office of the general books
keeper of the n G.. & ST. l..
r r. at Nashville. MIR. Posten
had attended the night school at Prof
! Goodman's Business Cullege.
Mr.. w V. Lomax, a student of the Uni
versily of Tennessee in 1878, and during
the latter part of the same year student OF
Prof Goodman's. On the y day OF
/ February, 1879. at Nashville. Mr.. Lomaz
writes to Prof Goodman as follows:
Prof E. Goodman:
! DEAR SIa: thank you for the posi-
|
Wheeler Bros. of this city. 1t was through
your own efforts that obtained it.
Il only attended your college ten weeks
End although did not complete the course
l have found nothing, as yet, that I had
not been instructed in while with you.
cheerfully commend your school to those
desiring business education"
Mr.. Lomsx has for the past year been
occupying prominent position in IT,,
Office of the N. c. & ST. L. r. R., at Nash
vi le; as was also Mr.. J. G. Hooper. Thes
former Students of Prof. Goodman are nov
employed IN the general accounting de
partment under Mt. T. D. Flippen.
Mr.. Flippin is not alone in engaging
young men who have been educate b.
Prof. Goodman, for it W Ii be rememberet
that at Nashville, within the LAST tw
months, eight applications were made t
Prof Goodman by tie following parties
Mr.. Edgar Jones, Cashier Third Nationa
Bank.
} Gilbert. Parks s. Co., Commission Mer
chants.
j. D. Nancy, General Accommodate
Department N. @. s. ST. l.. r. Il.
Orman & Stewart. Steam Stone Works.
S. Franklin & Co., Crystal Palace.
VIM. H. Morrow, General Insursnc
Agent.
) a Nashville Grain g. Elevator Co.
A. A. Newson, Southern Nurseries.
r In view of such facts as these, is it at q
surprising that students should prefe
Goodman's Business Colleges over a
3 others in the land.
In addition to the % students from 81
States that entered GJCdman's Colleges
: September, the following young men ell
tered yesterday:
A j. Wier, J.cksboro. Tenn.
w. w. Waismen, Jacksboro, Tenn.
: John Bowman, Jscksboro, Tenn.
o. W. Walsh, Donaldson, Tenn.
Prof. Goodman LAS spared neither tin
nor money to make his colleges second
!. none in the United States, and is full
# prepared to give his students thorougl
N practical education.
