Today there is surplus of school
teachers, and l wish TO say TO teachers
who are out of employment: Call at
the Hotel Arcadia, Alma, Mich, and /
will give you employment for lifetime
teaching the Acme system. The world
is ready TO receive a good practicable
short hand system, and the Acme is fast
gaining the supremacy over all other
systems. Respectfully,
a. Il. HARRINGTON
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1898-06-24
Reason for Learning the System.

Because it can be learned in 10 days.
Because it has no position of conso-
nantS.
Because it saves from five TO six
months time, and time is money.
Because there are no shaded signs.
Because it is as legible as long hand or
print.
Because it costs but $1,000 for tuition
including book.
Because A. +. Harrigton wants hun
dreds of teachers and will assign, free of
charge, all the territory you can handle
TO teach the system in.
Because the Acme system is the best
system of short hand on earth
Because if the student is dissatisfied
after learning it, it will cost nothing but
an oath that he or she will not use the
system in any way.
