GREETING.

Our reason in presenting this folder is to
give those interested in commercial educa-
ton such information regarding the work of
the Ladysmith Business College as seems
sufficient and necessary We will try to
set forth the facts in a plain and straight
forward manner as we knew the simple
truth will prove more satisfactory and at
tractve than all the promises we could
make.
We have great confidence and faith in our
College and in our ability to satisfy, but in
expressing it. we desire to avoid exaggera-
ton in every particular.
1t is our hope that these pages will be
especially interesting to young people whose
early education has been neglected and who
are anxious to win success in doing some of
the work in the busy world around them.
To such people we would like to make a
strong appeal. Many years of success or
failure are before you, and if you, would
win you must in the early days of your life
decide upon thorough preparation for use
fulness. Set your aim high, and then by all
that is good and honest, be not satisfied
until you have reached the goal of your
pectation.
In word of greeting wish to extend
our sincere thanks for the many kind words
said in our behalf by the people of Lady
smith 1t is our earnest and greatest de-
sire to merit this approval in a still great
er measure, and we assure our friends that
all future patronage shall receive very
prompt and closest attention
We have set for our motto Satisfied stu
dent" and we mean to spare neither eX-
pense nor labor to gain this point to the
fullest extent.

BOOKKEEPING.
SHORTHAND.

There is no single study that will give an
opportunity for young man or woman to
advance so rapidly shorthand. There is
always a great demand for competent short
hand writer's. Shorthand seems to be only
the stepping stone to higher positions. Men
who do well with shorthand are pro-
NOTED to higher positions, and women who
become competent stenographers soon secure
advancement Thus the field is ever open
and never filed
We teach the celebrated Graham System
of shorthand from text book prepared by
A. j. Barnes, and can positively assure you
of satisfaction in this line. If you want to
make success certain, we invite you to
come and complete our Shorthand Course in
Ladysmith.

To Whom it May Concern
As / am always interested in schools and
in everything that pertains to education, l
viii say that | have visited the Ladysmith
Business College several times, and l fully
believe that a student has as fine an OPP
portunity to secure an education in these
lines as can be wished.
The number in attendance is not large,
but large enough to make it interesting, and
each student can have personal attention
when needed. The professors are competent
in shorthand typewriting, bookkeeping, and
in all subjects necessary to thorough bust
ness education, and | know them to be men
of sobriety, morality and integrity; just
such people as parent would wish to have
the supervision of their sons and daughters.

To Whom This May Concern:
1 hereby certify that I have inspected the
Ladysmith Business College, and to the best
of my judgment, it does work of high
order.
Messrs. Rice and Mersch school men
of wide experience and good reputation.
They do their own instructing, instead of
hiring it done by persons of less ability, as
I am informed is done by many of the
larger Business Colleges. Thus their stu
dents get the best instruction that strong
teachers can give.
1t is with pleasure that I commend this
wish business college education
