The Proof of the Pudding Is
in the Eating.

There is no question but that the
Byrne Simplified Shorthand is the
greatest system in use to-day. 1t has
over 80, 300 enthusiastic writer's; it holds
the worlds record for speed in given
length of time, and 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:
81 take pleasure in telling the public
that the Byrne Simplified Shorthand is
the only system. I previously studied
Pitman eight months, used it in actual
practice for four months; at the end of
six weeks study of the Byrne l was
better writer than l had ever been with
the Pitman."
81 have been Sloan uployan ste
nographer for fifteen years; I found the
system inadequate. l then took the
Gregg under Mr.. Gregg of Chicago, but
found it illegible. l then took up the
| Byrne, which I consider the steno-
graphic marvel OF the age"
81 first studied Pitman Shorthand,
then took up the Byrne, and found the
Byrne to be IS per cent shorter, and that
it could be written at much higher
rate of speed, and read like print"
81 studied Pitman four months; gave
it up in disgust. l then took up PERRIN
and studied it almost night and day for
six months, but was not competent to
hold position. l then took up the
Byrne for three months and find l can
hold any kind of a position"
81 graduated in Graham Shorthand,
writing 100 words minute after nine
months study. After studying the
Byrne Simpifed, together with Byrne
Practical Bookkeeping, for four months,
l could write Byrne much faster and re-
gard it superior to any other SYSTEM"
81 thoroughly mastered fourteen sys-
TENS, seven of the most prominent Pit
man systems, Gregg, Charter, Byrne,
and four minor systems, and find the
Byrne much easier to read, that it can
be written with one and one-half times
the speed that can be made with any of
the other thirteen systems"
81 spent twentyseven months trying
to learn Pitman Shorthand, but owing
to the hundreds of rules, hundreds OF
exceptions and thousands of word signs,
failed to become good stenographer.
After studying Byrne in your school
two weeks, had more practical work
ing knowledge of shorthand than l did
after twenty-seven months study of the
Pitman.'
"After studying six different Pitmanie
systems was unable to hold an ordinary
office job, but with five weeks study o.
, the Byrne went into the District Cour
= and did reporting successfully, and was
appointed regular Court Stenographer.'
Why study any system of shorthand
. other than the Byrne, when the Byrnt
can be learned in half the time or less
read with greater ease and written at ;
higher rate of speed, which means bet
ter salary and promotion? It does no
cost half as much to complete cours
in our school as it does one of the othe
systems in other schools. We hold tn
exclusive right to teach the Byrne il
this section.
