various branches of learning by the
most approved methods. A reputation
such as this cannot be won in a few
months or year or even longer. En-
perience points the way to success, sue
cess besets confidence, and confidence
deservedly won is the best of all trade
marks. Every graduate of the Scran-
ton Business College helps it, not only
by their spoken words, but by the thor
ough. practical way in which they enter
upon their office or business life. When
a business man employs one of their
students he almost invariably goes
there again when in need of additional
office help.
Two Good Endorsements.
There are business colleges in New
York, Philadelphia and other large cities
and there are also hundreds of young
people wh1are looking for positions. A
Scranton Business College graduate
went to New York city, stranger. He
and 200 others applied at one place for
position as bookkeeper. The Scran-
ton young man got it.
Another Scranton Business College
graduate went to Philadelphia, a stran-
ser. He and hundreds of others ap-
piled for certain stenographic posi-
ton, The Scranton young man was
successful in securing it. Both of these
young men have since secured much
better situations.
Skill and Salaries.
Many people assert that there Is little
use in ladies learning bookkeeping or
shorthand for the reason that book
keepers and stenographers draw such
small salaries. The size of the salary
depends upon the amount of ability the
individual possesses. But recently, and
at about the same time, three ladies of
the Scranton Business College, only
one of them graduate, fresh from the
school room, without days practical
experience, secured positions which
paid them at the start $40, s45 and $50
per month respectively One of them
Is with a manufacturing concern, an
other with corporation and the third
in the attorney generals Office at Har-
risburg. What these ladies' salaries
will be in the future Will depend alto
gether upon themselves, for thoroughly
trained bookkeepers and stenographers
are i'm very great demand all over the
country.
'Tis true that there are many, the
products of so-ealled business colleges.

would attend good school only long

SCRANTON BUSINESS COL.
LEGE,

On Tuesday, Sept. 2, the Scranton
business College will begin its ninth
year--a year that promises to be the
most satisfactory of any that this emf
nently successful school has enjoyed.
Beginning in small way and threat
ened by powerful competition from the
very outset, it has not only increased
in strength and prestige, but has risen
to be one of the most successful schools
in the State of Pennsylvania, being
placed third in the list of such institu-
tions in this commonwealth.
The Beginning.
III the summer OF 1894 Herbert d.
Buck and Arthur r. Whtmore resigned
from Woods Business College, where
they had been teaching for eight years.
They Immediately organized the Scran-
ton Business College. During those
eight years they had become acquainted
with the locality and impressed with
the actual necessity OF real school
for the study of commercial pursuits.
The regulations they had earned as
instructors in Woods Business College
proved to be valuable assets and the
new firm We're phenomenally successful
from the start although their old en-
ployer continued his school and used
every effort to overcome the inroads
they were making upon his old-time
prosperity. About twelve months of
this was enough for Professor Wood,
and he FASTENED to close with an offer
made him by Hon. o. f. Williams, who
took hold of his purchase with the out
spoken determination to make 1t "the
school of the nation" Somehow, the
new proprietor was no more successful
than the old had been in the changed
order of things. Before another year
had rolled around Williams Business
College had changed hands once more,
but this time the sheriff was in charge.
Since then the College of Commerce
and Speneer's Business College have
been organized, had their brief day and
then put up the shutters.
In the meantime the new firm of
Buck & Whitmore had found 1t neces-
sary to enlarge their accommodation
and then to have building fitted up
from their own designs expressly to
house the increasing number of stu
dents who were enrolling in the Scran-
ton Business College. SO great was the
demand for scholarships that the seat
ing room was sometimes sorely taxed.
This prosperity continues.

schools of equal value in the larger

case attracted my attention. I got one

she is now using the second bottle and
she thinks it is something wonderful.
Her hearing and sight are both in part
restored. "-Abraham Ziegler.
In old age the mucous membranes be-
come thickened and partly lose their
function. This leads to partial loss of
hearing, smell and taste, as we'll ns d.
gestive disturbances. Pe-ru-na corrects
all this by its specific operation on all
the mucous membranes of the body.
One bottle will convince anyone. Once
used and Pe-ru-na becomes a lifelong
standby with old and young.
