Macon Andrews Business College of
Meridian. Miss, presided over by the
imperturbable Prof. J. j. Ferguson
who stands in the foremost rank as au-
thority on matters pertaining to
business colleges and as an adept in
the work of preparing boys and younS
ladies for successful business careers
in life, Prof. Ferguson is verdi
table wizard in his line. BOYS who
have been known to enter his college
bearing the stamp of being "obstin-
ate'' and ''hope less' have been
pushed through to graduation and are
today occupying honorable and lucra-
tive positions. The work of the pre-
fessor is thorough. He has repu-
tation to sustain (for each pupil
tnrned out is walking advertise
ment), and he sees to it that no one
leaves his college without having all
the finishing touches necessary to the
creditable filling of any job the
duties of which he would undertake.
Macon Andrews made no mistake
when they added Prof Ferguson s
college to their association of coll
leges. Il was a success, independent
and alone. and under the federation
system has done more than its share
in giving renown to their firm in
whose allied list it now stands. See
