THE PROOF OF THE PUD-
 DING IS IN THE EATING

AS ho dUSSIlou DuI that the Byrne Shorthand is the greatest sys- tenn in use today. It may be written either with pencil or any typewriter. 1t has over 0,000 enthusiastic writers: 1t holds the worlds record for speed in a given length of time, is the most simple, legible and rapid system in use, as is shown from the following remarks by our students who first studied other systems:
 Il take pleasure in telling the pub lie that the Byrne Shorthand is the only system. I previously studied Pitman months, used it in actual practice for four months; at the end of $ weeks study of the Byrne I was a better writer than I had ever been with the Pitman."
 Il hive been Sloan -Duployan stenographer for 15 years; I found the system inadequate. I then took the Gregg under MT. Gregg of Chi cago, but found it illegible. I then took up the Byrne which I consider the stenographic marvel of the age"
 q first studied Putnam Shorthand, then took up the Byrne, and found the Byrne to be 35 per cent shorter and that it could be written at much higher rate of speed, and read like print"
 '1 studied Putnam four months, gave it up in disgust; I then took up Pernin and studied it almost night and day for 6 months, but was not competent to hold a position. I then took up the Byrne for three months and find can hold any kind of po- sition."
 q graduated in Graham shorthand, writing 100 words a minute after 9 months study. After studying the Byrne Simplified, together with Byrne Practical Bookkeeping, for 4 months, could write Byrne much faster and regard it superior to any other system"
 q thoroughly mastered II sys- tems, seven of the most prominent Putnam systems, Gregg, Chartier, Byrne, and four minor systems, and find the Byrne much easier to read that it can be written with one and one-half times the speed that can be made with any of the other 13 sys- tems."
 q spent 27 months trying to learn Putnam shorthand, but owing to the hundreds of rules, hundreds of ex- captions and thousands of word signs, I failed to become a good stenogra- pher. After studying Byrne in your school two weeks, had a more prac- tical working knowledge of shorthand than I did after 27 months study of the Pitman."
 After studying six different Pit manic systems I was unable to hold an ordinary office job but with five weeks study of the Byrne I went into the District Court and did reporting sue cessfully, and was appointed regular Court Stenographer.
 "Why study any system of Short hand other than the Byrne, when the Byrne can be learned in half the time or less, read with greater ease and written at a higher rate of speed which means better salary and pro- motion? It does not cost half as much to complete course in our school as it does one of the other sys- tems in other schools. We hold the exclusive right to teach the Byrne in this section."
 White for catalogue containing full inducements and names and ad- dresses of the above and of others who have tried the other systems and abandoned them for the Byrne. Our Bookkeeping, Cotton Chasing, and Photography are as far superior to the other systems as is the Byrne Short hand. Don't fail to write or phone for our large free catalogue.
