IF WE COULD SEE
YOU FACE TO FACE


If we could see you face to face,
we could prove to you beyond the
shadow of doubt the advantages of
the famous Byrne Practical Book
keeping and Simplifed Shorthand.
Our bookkeeping is one of actual bust
MSS from start TO finish ana our
shorthand may be written either with
pencil or on the typewriter. We could
show you clearly how it is that we
can turn out a better stenographer or
bookkeeper, and do it in three months
less time than when we used to teach
the systems that are now being used
in other schools. This saving of three
months time means much to the pros
pective student, at a conservative
salary of $50 per month, the three
months time would amount to $3.50,
three months board at $12 per month
would amount to $50, or a total saving
of $186, to say nothing of the fact
that the student of our school gets
three months practical experience
while the student of the other school
is just finishing his course and has
no experience.
We have hundreds of graduates
holding the very best positions to be
found in our larger cities. We have
more calls for our graduates of Book.
keeping, Shorthand, Business AID
ministration and Finance, Cottor
CHASING or Telegraphy than we are
able to supply. You may enter with
US at any time; our work is practic
ally all individual instruction. Thor
ough preparatory work in EnglisI
branches is given free, Write for cat
alogue; make your arrangements tt
enter at once, that we may soon hav'
the pleasure of placing you in goo(
position.
