GREATEST BLESSINGS


Business colleges are among the
greatest blessings in American
civilization today, because they
have saved thousands of homes
from being wrecked, and have
made happy and comfortable tens
of thousands of young men and
young women who might other
wise be holding inferior positions.
Nothing will stand you in better
stead in the hard, cold, practical,
everyday world, than good sound
business education. No matter
what your vocation may be. you
must be business man first, or
you will always be placed at a
great disadvantage in the practical
affairs of life.
