the Eating.
There is no question but that the
Byrne Simplified Shorthand is the great
est system in use to-day. 1t has over
80, 900 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. l previously studied
Pitman eight months, used it in actual
practice for four months; at the end OF
six weeks study Of the Byrne ! was q
better writer than l had ever been with
the Pitman.o
81 have been a Sloan-Duployan ste
nographer for fifteen years; I found the
system inadequate. | then took the
Gregg under Mr.. Gregg of Chicago, but
found it illegible. then took up the
Byrne which consider the stenographic
marvel OF the age"
sI first studied Pitman Shorthand,
then took up the Byrne, and found the
Byrne to be 80 per cent shorter and that
it could be written at much higher
rate OF speed, and read like print"
1 81 studied Pitman four months, gave
it up in disgust; then took up Pernin
i and studied it almost highland day for
six months, but was not competent to
hold a position. then took up the
Byrne for three months and find I can
hold any kind of position"
I II graduated in Graham shorthand,
| writing 100 words a minute after nine
], months study. After studsing the
Byrne Simplified, together with Byrne
Practical Bookkeeping, for four months,
: / could write Byrne much faster and
regard it superior to any other system
: 81 thoroughly mastered fourteen sys-
! tens seven Of the most prominent Pit

and four minor systems-and lind the
/ Bvrne much easier to read and that i
t can be written with one and one-hal.
q times the speed that can be made witt
: any Of the other thirteen systems"
e 81 spent twenty -seven months trying
to learn Pitman shorthand, but owing t
the hundreds of rules, hundreds OF ex
ceptions and thousands Of word signs
/. I failed to become a good stenographer
