-Four Points to
Be Considered,

There are fouS points that should
be considered in selecting a school to
attend.
First: The schools financial stand
ing, for the student does not want to
attend a school today that will pass
out of existence tomorrow. The Ty-
Ter Commercial College of Tyler,
Texas, has paid in capital and sur
plus of over $50, 900. 1t Is owned and
operated by men who have proven
themselves successful business men.
Second: The moral surroundings.
Our teachers are ladies and gentlemen
of the highest character. We look
after our students while in school, we
encourage them in honesty and up
Brightness. We teach them that true
success is built on the foundation of
honesty, a square deal to every one.
Third: The systems and methods
used. We use the famous Byrne sys-
tens of shorthand and bookkeeping,
which enables US to turn out a better
bookkeeper and stenographer in half
the time and at half The cost of other
schools teaching other systems. We
have the exclusive control of these
systems in this state. Therefore, the
Byrne systems are a case OF "sour
grapes" to our competitors. The
fact that we turn out better stenogra-
piers in three months than they can
in six, and place our graduates into
better positions than they can, is what
should interest the prospective student.
Read our catalog, see the Endorsements
from hundreds of students and bust
ness men.
Fourth: Our ability to place you
in a good position: after we have
thoroughly prepared you, you then
need our assistance in securing good
position with responsible firm,
where you can earn good salary.
We realize that in order to succeed,
our students must succeed; the greater
their success, the greater our success:
their success reflects credit upon our
institution and causes their friends to
to follow in their footsteps. What is
the use of your attending school
six months to get an education that
can be had in our school Ia three
months? The other fellow hasn't the
advantages of our most modern sys-
tens, therefore it is utterly impossible
for him to. make a good stenographer
or bookkeeper of you in three or four
months.
