the average ran 1871 to 1876 miles per

miles per gallon could be guaranteed"

bookkeeping. shorthand or stereotype?
(2) Would you take a business
course at all: Or would you start
right in clerking?
lNQUISITIVE.
% Most girls prefer stenography
to bookkeeping. Unless you are very
fond of mathematics I would advise
you to take stenographic course.
Shorthand and stereotype are both
good. Study your own case and talk
the matter over with the head OF
the school you expect TO attend. 4
stereotype machine costs $50, but it
does not take as long to learn the
subject as shorthand, and is not so
difficult to master. Stereotype certain
ly has it's strong points, but at the
same time there is the argument
against it that you always have to
have your machine with you, while in
shorthand, all you need is pencil
and scrap of paper.
(2) Co to school since you have the
chance.

little ! have saved. Can you suggest
something for me to do or tell me
what to do. I do not have to make
a change right away, but with time to

BUSINESS MAN.
1t seems that You are experiencing
the same difficulty that so liany OF
the small retail dealers throughout
the country are having this season.
You are, however, very wise in seeing
the couse of your apparent failure and
in being farsishted enough to look
for something else to do now before
YOU lose all OF your little savings.
II you were just a little younger !
would suggest that You enter the
service of the United States quarter
masters department. Men OF business
ability and experience in retail stores
such as you have had could undoubted-
ly be of service to he government. and
it would do nc harm for you to write
70 the quarterm2Ster general, United
states army. Washington, d. c., ask
ing him if there is chance for you to
get a commission in his department.
IL that is impossible why not apply

with whom You have done consider

Years, There are great number Of
positions open just now for book
keepers, stockroom keepers and the
like left by the younger men being
called 70 the front. These dealers
know you from yaur dealing with them
and would give you at least a cour-
teous reply and very probably would
have a good opening for you. II would
relieve you of your worry and give
YOU a steady income.
