Cation Business College, 253 I'd av s.
Now is a good time for Journal
readers to commence course of study
in the Cation College. 1t is not best to
put it off till September, because then
hundreds of students commence the
course and they all graduate about the
same time next spring. By commencing
now, you will graduate ahead of the
large classes and will have very little
competition in securing good position;
because this old-established school is
daily called upon to fill one or more
is no other business school in the state
that enjoys SO wide and so favorable
acquaintance with business mon as does
the Cation College. It is the oldest
established school in the state; it is by
far the best equipped school, in the
state; its courses of study are the most
thorough and practical; it's faculty of
teachers: are the best educated; it's
students are the most intelligent and
discriminating, and it's graduates are
generally engaged ahead Of their grad
uation.,> Cation, College holds no gradua-
tion exercises like high schools do, be-
cause one or more students complete the
course, every week, and, as they go
direct to business positions, their gradu-
alton. consists in receiving q, diploma
and an engagement with a : business
house. More than 5000 students have
been educated in this old school; more
than 1000 Of them are employed in this
city alone. Readers of T h e>:J oiu; r
ma !, do you not think you had better
take up a course of study in 'bookkeep-
Ing, stenography, telegraphy, etc, in
Shls school maintained wholly to edu-
cate ambitious and determined Young
men and women for business hfeY The
cost is insignificant compared with the
lifelong benefits you will derive. Cation
College must be doing grand work for
its students and. for business houses or
the school would not. be so highly in.
dorsed by business, public and profes-
s1onal men. The school is always in
session, day and evening, and now is a
good time to enter. Unless you pursue
a, course Of study in the branches
taught in this business school YOU need
not expect an important position. in the
business world nor rapid advancement
IN life. Better call upon MT. Cation and
talk the matter over with him. He will
