There never has been time when
telegraph operators were in such great
demand as at the present, and the de-
mand is steadily increasing. One can
become a prficient operator in three
or four months; and the cost is trifiing.
Only limited education is necessary
to be good operator. Write for let
tiers of testimony from graduates
whom we have recently placed in po-
sitions, paying salaries from $50 per
month up. What we have done for
others we can do for you.
