THINK II OVER

Young men and women who are ambitious to achieve success should not waste the summer mouths. One vacation properly spent will prepare you for a pro- fitable life. Many swho, at the close of school last year, entered the Tyler Commercial College to spend the summer months, are now holding splendid positions, or attending a University, pay ing their way with the conner cial training they received. Every year we have several hun dred students from 15 years to 45 years of age who finish dur ing their vacation, before the big business openings in all lines of industry in the fall. It is use less to idle away the summer months. Business men and far mers alike are busy, and ambl- tious young people had rather enter a large and enthusiastic student body and master course of Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Te- legraphy, Business Administra- tion and Finance, Penmanship or Cotton Chasing Write for a large illustrated free catalogue of the Tyler Commercial College. Read of the advantages of our splendid courses of instruction and of those who have graduated and are now holding good posi- tions, what they say of the Instr tuition, what their employers think of their efficient training. Read how some have worked their way through school, how others borrowed money and mae it pay them big dividends, how others quit jobs at small salaries completed their courses and went back to the same firm at two or three times their previous salary. Some who were unable to attend school at Tyler finished the home study course and never had to quit earning their salary Make arrangements to enter as soon as school closes. The United States Government holds Civil Service examinations in Tyler every Tuesday, enabling our graduates to go in positions at salaries from $900 to $500. There is great demand for clerical help in government work and our grad uates are receiving prompt ap- pointments. The salaries are ad- vanced after three months of satisfactory servlce. and the pay is sure and prompt.
 This is a patriotic task, at the same time profitable, and ap' peals to young Americans very strongly. Tyler Commercial Col iepe, Tyler. Texas.
