Words of Praise for the Byrne
SimpIified System from Those
Who Have Tried Many
Others.

There is no question but that the
Byrne Simplified Shorthand is the
grea test system in use today. 1t has
over 10000 enthusiastic writer's; II
holds the worlds record for speed 10
given length of time, is the most
simple, legible and rapid system in
use, as is shown from the following
remarks by our students who first
studied other systems:
II take pleasure in telling the pue-
lie that the Byrne 'Simpliiied Short

the Byrne to be IS per cent shorter and
that it could be written at much

Why study any system of shorthand
other than the Byrne, when the Byrne
can be learned in half the time, read
with greater ease and written at
higher rate of speed? 1t only costs
about half as much to complete
course in the Byrne Simplitied Short
hand in our school as it does one of
the other systems in another school.
We hold the exclusive right to teach
the Byrne Simpliied in this section.

Endorsements and names and addresses
of the above and of others who have
tried the other systems and abandoned
them for the Byrne. Our Bookkeeping
and Telegraphy are also far superior
to the other systems.
