higher aim or nobler purpose than
an institution for business training;
such we have in Nettlet0n s CONNER

consideration which is accorded only
to colleges that maintain an honor
able policy in their intercourse with
the public. 1t was founded BIZ Prof.

and has made a decided success.
There is no business college in the
South that has a more thorough
and practical course than is given
here. Complete commercial and
shorthand courses are given under
competent teachers. Prof. Nettleton
is a graduate OF Browns Business Col
lege, Jacksonville, Ill. In 1892, and
1893 he taught in Browns Business
College. Bloomington, III. where his
work was crowned with success.
Twelve of his students there took
the examination for and received
Columbia Diplomas at the World $
Fair; none failed. Subsequently he
taught two years at Searcy College

Ommeuda tons from principals ofcol-
leges of the South and West. Mrs.
Nettleton, who superintends the short
hand and typewriting department,
is IA teacher OF marked ability. This
college is furnished and ftt2 with
all the requisites, is pleasant, light
and cool and just the place to give

S. A. ROSENBERG.
A prince" of Good Fellows

Selig A. Rosenberg, or, as he is
known, "Saley" Rosen-
berg, is perhaps the most striking
example to be found in Pine Bluff OF
what the earnest, energetic young
man can do in the South without
money-if he is possessed of brains
and backbone. Seven years ago
''Saleys started the Trulock Hotel
stand on "pluck." Deyoting himself
closely to his business he soon added
few dollars to his store, and today
the Trulock cigar stand carries fine
stock of cigars as can be found in
any city in America; is fitted up in
such style as to be worthy a place
in any hotel in the country-elegant
counter and wall cases OF ornamen-
tai quarter-sawed oak and plate
glass being a feature. Ii Mr.. Rosen-
berg had stopped here he would
have achieved success, but he has done
more. His book and stationery
store at III Second avenue, is the
best OF it's kind in this section, the
fittings and fixtures being the best
and the stock embracing everything
that comes under the head OF books
and stationery, together with sheet
music, pianos and other musical in
struments being up to date. Nor is
, this all; the Arlington Hotel cigar
| stand is also one of the results OF
"Saley's energy and thrift, and is
second only to the Trulock stand.
Starting out in small way seven
years ago, this young man is now
owner of three well-paying concerns,
The store is in charge of Mr.. Edwin
f. Rosenberg, relative, who is gen
ial and a musician OF merit. Mr..
Rosenberg looks after the Arlington
and Joe Rosenberg, the irrepressible
Duck" is in charge of the TrulOck
stand. Selig looks after all his en-
terprises and is to he found at all
/ times at one or the other of his places.
Careful in his methods; reliable to a
| degree; energetic and earnest. .Saley'
Rosenberg has more scores of friends
among financiers and business men,
and among the boys he is about the
most popular man in Pine Bluff.
This young mans career is a lesson
of what can be done by energetic
effort, honestly pursued.
