NORWICH BUSINESS
 COLLEGE
99 Main Street

Many business men are under the impression that students, after graduating from a business school, must be trained again after going into the office to work. This may be the case with some schools, but the Norwich Business College differs in many ways from other schools, inasnuch as students receive real business training and before graduating are giv- en an opportunity to do real office work until they are com- petent to assume the duties of a Stenographer.
 Our students receive actual business training in our office by doing correspondence for school and for outside parties.
 The above facts are some of the reasons why business men apply to the Norwich Business College when they want com petent stenographerS and bookkeepers.
