Commercial Notes
Seven of the eight post gradu-

work are specializing in CONNER

Remington typewriters and with
our five Underwoods can accom-
odate all who wish to write. We
are going to try to win the gold
medal the Remington offers for
speed work. The Underwood COM
pany also offers some valuable
awards for efficiency.

younger pupils. All the classes
