PROSPEROUS CONDITION
OfGoodman's Business College.
Knoxville Chronicle 4th


We learn from reliable authority
that the cash receipts Of Goodman's
Business College during the past
month, amounted to more than all
the other Business Colleges in the
State combined.
The question is asked, ''Why do
students pay Prof Goodman more
than other colleges charge" We
would answer, '"That they consider
his course more thorough and per-
feet than that given by other col
leges, and further, that his students
are SO very successful in procuring
business situations, and filing such
positions with credit to themselves,
to the colleges from which they
graduated. and to the satisfaction of
their employers" This fact is at
tested by the number of applica-
tions Prof Goodman has from bust
ness men to furnish them with as
sistants. Applications for book
keepers and business assistants are
made to Prof Goodman at such
rate that he cannot supply the de-
mand. Even while on the train
coming to Knoxville last week, Mr..
Louis Colyar, manager of Rising
Sun, Ga, Iron Works, made appli-
cation to the Professor for a book
keeper at the works, a request the
Professor could not grant for want
Of material. This and other like
applications go far toward answer
ing the questions why students pre-
fer GoOdman's to other Business
Colleges, even at the higher rates
of tuition charged.
We have also noticed during the
past week that Mr.. Z. D. Flippen,
general auditor of the Cole system
Of railroads, has engaged in his office
in this city, three of Professor Good
mans former students, namely, Mr..
Allen ]. Poston, lately employed in
the Office Of the general bo0k-keeper
Of the n, G. & st. L. RR. at Nash
vile. Mr. Poston had attended the
night school at Prof Goodman's
Business College.
Mr.. w. Y. Lemax, a student of the
University of Tennessee in 1873, /
and during the latter part of the
same year stddent of Prof Good
mans. On the 18th day of Febru-
ary, 1879, at Nashville, Mr.. Lemax
writes Prof Goodman as follows:
DEAR SIR: l thank you for the
position [ now occupy as book-keep-
er for Wheeler Bros, ofthis city. It
was through your own efforts that [
obtained it.
| only attended your college ten
weeks and although [ did not COM
plete the course, [ have found moth
ing, as yet, that 1 had not been in
structed in while with you. [
cheerfully commend your school to
those desiring a business education"
Mr.. Lemax has for the psst year
been occupying a prominent posi-
ton in the Office of the N, G. & st. !
L. RR., at Nashville; as was also
Mr.. J. G. Hooper These former
students of Prof Goodman are now
employed in the general accounting
department under Mr. T. D. Flip
pen.
Mr.. Flippen is not alone in en-
gaging young men who have been
educated by Prof Goodman, for it
will be remembered that at Nash
vile, within the last two months,
eight applications were made to
Prot. Goodman by the following
parties
Mr.. Edgar Jones, Cashier Third
National Bank ~
Gilbert Parks & Co., Commission
Merchants.
j. d. Manney, General Accom-
modating Department n, G. & st. |
RR.
Orman & Stewart, Steam Stone
Works.
S. Franklin & Co, Crystal Palace.
VIM. I'll. Morrow, General Insur-
ance Agent.
A Nashville Grain and Elevator
Co.
A A. Newson, Southern Nurser-
les.
In view of such facts as these is it
at all surprising that students should
prefer Goodman's Business College
over all others in the land
In addition to the % students
from six States that entered Good
mans College in September, the fol-
lowing young men entered yester-
day
A. J. Wiser, JacksDoro, Tenn.
w W. Waismen, Jacksboro, Tenn.
John Bowman, Jacksboro, Tenn.
o. w Walsh, Donaldson, Tenn.
Prof Goodman has spared neither
time nor money to make his colleges
second to none in the United States,
and is fully prepared to give his
students a thorough practical edu-
aafion
