When one considers that the per cent
OF business failure reaches we'll up into
the nIneties, the few remaining who
are successful are objects OF interest 10
all. IL is 10 one Of these few successful
enterprises that attention is called. In
1850 Mr. Owen Stone stood sponsor
for the infant "Globe Telegraph
Institute" 1t was one of the
first of its class of colleges in tie
West. and was located in the David
son block. on the corner of Fourth aud
jackson streets. From small begin
ming the college made steady advance
ment. Its excellent facilities for Quali-
flying young men for business gave IL
more than local reputation. and ii be-
came popular throughout the North
west. When in 1855 Mr. Stone dis
posed of his interest in the college to
the present proprietor. Prof. +. a.
Maron. he had the satisfaction OF know
ing that his efforts had resulted in sue

became the name Of this school on the
advent OF Prof NarOn as conductor,
and by this name it has been kno wn
since that time. While the policy which
characterized the earlier years OF the
school has in the main been continued.
many innovations. improvements and
appliances have necessarily been intro
duced to keep pace with the times, until
now this popular educational resort has
become synonymous with thorough tech
meal and business training. There IS
an untold satisfaction in following out
a steady, consistent life, either in Il busi-
ness or professional way, which shall
have for its object something higher
than mere pecuniary gain; and what

ignorant Joe in Dickens "Great EXpec-

comfort in taking book and picking
out the J's and Os." Something Of
this feeling may have inspired Prof.
Maron in his successful efforts in Civ

On entering these rooms one IS IN doubt
whether he has not made mistake aud

Office or a stock exchange. The click
OF the instruments and tile busy life
seem foreign to ones idea OF a school.
but this is only incident TO the actual
business of the institution. AT this
point il might be well 10 state that this
college stands alone in the Northwest
in regard to its facilities to thoroughly
qualify one to receive from telegraph

THE COURSE OF STUDY
embraces telegraphy, with latest i'm
provements: shorthand, the Standard.
Moran, Pitman and Graham-Munson
systems: bookkeeping, the most practi-
cal and easiest learned; tYpewriting.
with no less than five Of the standard
machines; commercial law, business
arithmetic, English training: penmau-
ship, a plain. neat, fluent style, with
fiourishing omitted; letter writing, Ger
man, grammar ana spelling. The col
lege curriculum is worthy the careful
consideration OF any one. The Globe
has been particularly successful IN Sc
curing positions for competent students,
and has a record OF over 800 who are
now holding lucrative positions. The
school at this lax season has upwards OF
seventy students, presided over 10y Prof.
Maron and three competent assistants.
Daily demands are received for tele-
graph operators, station agents, stenog-
raphers and typewrlters. and. as soon
as students are qualified, pleasure is
taken in recommending them for posi-
tiOns.
The aim of the College is to furnish a
thorough practical business training at
a very moderate outlay, and 10 help all
Young men to make at least their board
while learning.
Terms to lady students are more rea-
sonable than can be found elsewhere.
The Globe aims to afford those whose
early education has been neglected an
opportunity to make up this deficiency
in the most important points,and to give
TO all students by lectures and personal
instructions such practical ideas as will
make them more successful in whatever
calling they may undertake. All who
contemplate taking a business course
are courteously invited to call or to
write to Prof T. A. Maron. Globe Busi-
