Grand Rapids morning telegram., 1884-12-20
The Grand Rapids Commercial Col
lege journal.

The following well-written article taken
from the Michigan Farmer and State Jour
nal Of Agriculture, of Detroit, shows the es-
timation in which prominent Grand Rap-
ids institution is held. We commend both
the article and the institution to which it re-
fers to all young men who desire to prepare
themselves for successful business career.
In speaking of the College Journal the
Fdrmer says:
1.-The above named journal is published in
the interest of the Grand Rapids CONNER
cial College, an institution which, under the
management of Prof. G. q. Swensberg, has
acquired an enviable fame as an educator.
The Journal is filled with readable matter
pertaining to the College, the beautiful and
enterprising city in which it is located, and
practical suggestions to those who wish to ac-
quire business education. In these days of
railroads, telegraphs and other appliances
and aids to business. the methods which
were successful quarter of century ago
are now nearly obsolete, and it Is a wise man
who thoroughly equips himself for the bust
ness he designs following before entering
upon it. Competition is intense, and the
man who cannot decide promptly and cor
rectly upon matters as they come before him,
must inevitably be left behind in the race for
wealth. good commercial college is there
fore one of the needs of the times, and can
be made the basis of successful business
career if its advantages are made use of.
Send to Prof. Swensberg for copy of the
College Journal, and you will find much to
instruct as well as amuse you In its well filled
columns"
