College of st. Paul.
In a city of such great commercial activity
as st. Paul, and which is also the great dis
tributing point for a realm of production it
seems entirely fitting that we should find the
most demand for thorough business edu-
cation. And. as supply Is Invariably influ-
enced bv demand, it is here accordingly that
tine institution known as The Globe Business
College. which has its home at the corner
of Fourth and Jackson, was founded by T.
A. Maron i'll 1855, aud that it was established
in 1850. and was known then as the Globe
Telegraphic Company Since its founda-
ton as the Globe business College, the school
has made the most remarkable progress
under its full management. under Prof.
Maron
A thorough and practical instruction is
taught at the school, such as tel .graphy
with its latest improvements; shorthand, the
standard systems Moran, PitmaII. Graham
and MunSOn, either personally or by mail;
bookkeeping. the most practical and easy to
be learned; typewriting with four different
kinds of machines; commercial law bust
hess. arithmetic, business training. English
training, penmanship, letter-writing, Ger
man, grammar, spelling, etc. The school
has specialist teachers. with the principal
himself, practi cally imparting TO ladies and
gentlemen knowledge in the above branches
IN each OF its various departments. The
above branches are taught so that thev might
lii few months satisfact orily i'll the numer-
Gus positions which are constantly opening
in railroad, commercial and mercantile
business Our success has been so
encouraging and increasing, demand for
telegraph operators stenOgrapherS, book
keepers go great, that we have deemed it
necessary to enlarge our facilities. By doing
just as we agreed. and generally more, we
have won the respect of ALL and this is the
best evidence any commercial institution can
put forward as to their standing Fully one
hall of our students come to our school
through recommendation of those who are
either with who huvc successfully
passed through and are at work in their DIFF
ferent pursuits.
A thorough telegraph education is one OF
the chief features of which the school is
proud 1t is the only school where teleg-
raphy is taught, and with great satisfaction
Telegraphy is Il profession that all ladies and
gentlemen should take advantage of.
l. Because 1t IS most profitable.
2. Because it is more reliable.
3. Because it is light and pleasant bust
ness as compared with other vOcations
4. Because it brings you in contact with
shrewd and business men, and leads to ave
nues for successful business that no other
line can offer.
5. Because tits the easiest learned.
b. Because ii is steady employment the
year round. There is no lost time on account
OF rain, SHOW or disagreeable weather, which
IN ordinary ira deS amounts to from one 10
four months each year.
The business in itself is fascinating in the
extreme. The idea OF communicating in
stan!ly hundreds of miles away never loses
its charm.
Let us compare the salaries of other yoca-
uOnS with that of telegraph operators Qn
making these comparisons we do not wish
lt understood that they are any of them less
honorable. because we believe directly the
opposite Persons employed III honorable
calllngs are just as honorable as the profes-
slonai man, but we wish to show the fnan-
clal value of telegraphy as compared with
other vocatonS)
First-SaleSmen and clerks commence on
- to ~ per week ana board themselves
After years of service they are. of course ad-
Vanced to great extent, but we speak from
knoWledge and experience that there are
thousands upon thousands who never attsin
more than $50 and $50 per month And look
at the army of them out of employment.
Pick up newspaper: refer to the situations
wanted" column, and YOU will find hordes of
them looking for work Their hours of duty
run from twelve to fifteen hours per dav
Second TradeSmen-This includes good
many VOcat1OnS: carpenters maSOnS brick
layers, tailors, BARRIERS and other s too numer-
Gus to mention. All you need do is to refer
to any newspaper columns of our city papers
and you will find plenty of them looking and
advertising for work.
Third. Farm WOrk-Men working on
farms receive SIS to S25 per month and board
What are his hours Daylight to dark, and
in addition to this the chores are done be-
fore daylight i'll the morning, and after dark
i'll the evening.
People i'll all the above classes have but lit
tie time for social enjoyment, simply because
their working hours are so long they need
what hours they get for rest.
Have you ever seen nm advertisement head
ed, Wanted, Position as Telegraph Oper-
ator: We will venture you never have
They DO not need to throw away money ad-
vertiSing for situations There is ALWAYS n
demand for their services. We will speak Of
TINS little further on i'll this column.
The salaries of Telegraph Operators range
from SlO to Sl5O per month, according TO
n snF,Ss
hours of duty do not exceed twelve hours
except i'll occasional cases. when they gen
erallv receive extra pay. In commercial of
fees the day hours are from a. IN. to p m,
with their hour for dinner. Night hours
from p. IN. to from l to 3 IL IN. In all large
offices those who work after l Il. m. receive
extra pay for every minute they work.
1t is no uncommon circumstance for Oper-
ators working in commercial offices on sgl-
ary of $50 per month to make SD extra by
working overtime. Their work is light and
pleasant, and allows them much more time
for selt-culture and improvement.
Train Dispatchers' hours are generally
eight hours per day, and salaries So to $50
per month.
Are not these good and sufficient reasons
for learning Telegraphy?
What Shall Learn?
How many thousands of Young men and
women all over this country. having no trade
or profession. are seeking employment?
Many lack the advanced education neces-
Sarv 10 mt tnem iOr the learned professions.
They wish TO gain an honest living and the
constant question to their mind is What
shall l learn!'
Let us look and see They have tried vari-
GUS occupations. but do not seem TO have
found the right thing. If you are one of
these, have YOU ever considered the advan-
tages Cf Telegraphy? 1t is easily learned al
ways pays good salary. and is n sure road to
prosperity. Many young men and women
now attending our institution have said when
entering: Il have place ready for me as
soon as | can learn Telegraphy. The situa-
ton is one which is light and pleasant, but
in order TO get it L must be an operator"
Where Shall 1 Learn?
1t is unnecessary to argue the question as to
whether it is best to learn in a small office
even were IL free of cost, where the student
gets but little practice, much less satisfac-
ton, or in an Office which makes it a business
of teaching the art.
Our Offices are fitted up with all the latest
improved telegraph machinery i'll use, switch
boards. cut-OutS, batteries, wires. etc. and is
the best place for the stndent to
become proficient as an intelligent operator
Many railroads make il a rule to only en-
gage agents who understand Ielegraphy. This
increases the operators salary, and puts him
in direct line for promotion.
If you are looking about you for someth ing
to do that will stick by You, do you find any
thing as promising and sure as telegraphy?
