demand in the City of Bridgeport for
 competent operators of Burroughs Computing Machines and of the Com tometer This demand could not be
 supplied for heretofore instruction
 could not be obtained in the city, and many who realized the value such a training meant to them were forced to go to New York for the teaching they desired. Many of the operators who enjoy some of the best salaries paid to office help today were obliged to pick up their training as best they could in odd moments and under the tutelage of others not always best qualified to teach.
 To remedy this condition and to give anyone in the city who desires such training an opportunity to obtain it under the best possible conditions The Booth & Bayliss Commercial School, 167 Fairfield Avenue, has just completed arrangements for the thorough training of students in the rapid and accurate manipulation of these remarkable and invaluable ma- chimes
 Students enrolling for this course will be given careful, individual at tention in all branches of this work. The course is under the direct super vision of one of the most capable call culating machine operators in the City of Bridgeport. Every branch of the work from rapid addition by touch to multiplication in small and large amounts, subtraction, division,
 discounting and pay roll work is thor | oughly covered. Those completing
 the course will be thoroughly compe- tent, for evidence of unquestioned ability must be shown in each branch of the work before the student is graduated.
 A battery of the latest model ma chimes has been installed, and suffi- cient machines to take care of all | who may enroll have been arranged for. The course will be given in both Day and Evening Classes.
 l The computing machine is as inva1-
 uable as the typewriter. Modern of flee methods would be almost at a standstill without it. for it not only | makes more accurate the necessary mputations, but it immeasurably
 increases the efficiency of the office ] force, and the amount of work pro- duced in day. Computing machines make possible the installation of sys- tems and check systems that would 1 otherwise be absolutely out of the
 question if depending upon the old fashioned ways of figuring.
 l Hundreds of these machines are in
 use in Bridgeport, and the number is increasing, and will continue to in-
 crease by leaps and bounds. The de- | nd fvoi hal iv, ,ic I paratively new field of office work is
 greater than the supply and the de- mand will increase at a greater pro- I portionate rate than for any other
 single class of office assistants. The
 ability to operate machines of this
 character will constitute a most valu- l able additional asset to anyone now
 engaged in office work.
 In starting this course The Booth
 & Bayliss Commercial School has once again given evidence of being thor oug111y up-to-date and alive to the in-
 terests of the Bridgeport public and | the business men who are in need of
 the best of trained help in all lines of office work.
 Comptometer and Computing ma chine operators are among the best paid office assistants in the country
 Many people who are not attracted to l bookkeeping or stenographic work are | delighted, with computing machine
 work and are able in comparatively short time to become very proficient. l This course is entirely separate | from the regular Bookkeeping, Short
 hand, and Secretarial Courses. One
 price is charged, regardless of the
 time taken to learn. Full informa-
