Steno-Typewriting
Is The Greatest Single Step
In The History of Short
hand.

Itmakes the typewriter do double
duty, take the dictatiOn down as
we'll as take it up. 1t uses the alb
breviating power of the English
language the same as in Byrne
Simplihed Shorthand but with
printed characters on all standard
makes of typewriters instead of
with the pencil. The typewriter
has proven to be the most efficient
of modern Office appliances. The
business man likes it because it
enables him to turn out his cor
respondence with speed and acCu-
raCy. But he has realized that
there was still d weakness in his
correspondence from the fact that
what he dictated was recorded frsl
with the erring pencil and that
which did not go down correct
could not come back correct.
He now welcomes Stereotype
writing because he sees his dicta-
ton going down accurately in print
to come back accurately transcribed
Steno-Typewriting is simple be-
cause it is done mechanically. 1t
is legible because it is print. 1t
is rapid because it is executed with
che eight nimble fingers of the hand
instead of one hand cramped around
a pencil.
Steno-typewrittlng notes are in
Interchangeable. 1t is so legible
that one stenographer can read
another ; notes backwards. Sl-no-
typewrlttlng may be written at a
good commercial rate of a pencil in
the absence OF typewriter.
There perhaps, never was a sys-
tenn of note taking that has caused
SO much favorable comment as has
Steno- typewriting 1t is admitted
to be the logical way.
This most modern method of
note taking can only be had in this
par. of the country at the Tyler
Commercial College, Tyler, Texas.
The school that is not only the
largest of the kind in America.
but does the most thorough practi
cal work i'll Bookkeeping, Short
