THE MASTER KEY THAT unLocks.

The door that leads to success is business education. Success is achieved by the one who sees clearly the goal of his object and goes straight to it. Ability has never yet lacked opportunity,
 neither has it remained undiscov- cred. A great many business men are anxious to secure the services of a good book-keeper,
 stenographer, or a general office assistant. To meet the busi- ness mans requirements, the ap- plicant must be thorough and practical. To this end and aim we put forward our best efforts and because of our good teach- ing and superior methods we give our students a better training in three or four months than they can get at other schools in five and six months. Bear in mind,
 it is only a few steps from Hills Business College to a good pay ing position. Everything is high grade and right up to date. With us you learn bookkeeping by keeping books. Our system of shorthand is the best and the shortest in the country. It is simplified, and easy to learn. easy to read and write and is practi- cal. Big summer reduction. Our
