The South Bend Business College is well known to the people of Mar shall county because of the .large number of its sons aiii daughters who have graduated from that In stitution, and because of their uni versal success. There is searcelv a resident of this County who has not had some mem ber of his family, neighbor, or friend at the S. r. R C. at some time or other during the past twenty-seven years. The College confines its efforts to practical business subjects, especial ly along the line of Bookkeeping. Shorthand. Typewriting. Commerchl Law. Arithmetic, Spelling, Pennian s! ip. Banking, Reporting, Oltic? Bract ice, Commercial Corresponded? etc.. etc. A special feature of the College is that of the actual Business and Banking Department. There is nothing in this part of the country uite equal to this department, and it is necessary for one to take the work to appreciate its magnitude and scope. Here the student puts into actual practice the knowledge acquired from his text-bojk and correspondence instruction, and after completing the required work, is en abled to acceptably fill any book keeping position. Its actual Business Department presents an interesting and lively scene to the visitor. Here the stu dents are conducting, .on the'r own account and with each other, the various lines of business embraced in the course. Wholesale dealers are filling orders from retail mer chants. They, i:i turn, are selling to their customers, or learning of a letter rrarket elsewhere, or are shipping goods to a commission mer chant who sells them, and returns the proceeds. The Transportation Company is busy hurrying ship ments to purchasers; insurance azents are writing policies on prop erty; real estate dealers are enact ing sales; bank tellers are receiving depositing, or paying checks; mer chants are borrowing monev of tli? bank, rr d:scounting the notes re ceive! from their customers; sten- agrapheis are taking dictation, and all the possible activities of a great city are here going on at once, each student striving to make a success of his own particular work. Tins department is a miniature business world in itself. It is fitted up in a regular counting-house style, no expense having been spared to provide modern equipment. There is a large bank, commission I.o.-.s?, wholesale houses, real estate offices, express offices and freight ( fficc3 each elegantly furnished, and convenient I v situated for the transac tion of business, together with intli vidual desks for retail merchants, lo cated throughout the body of the room, each representing a separate business of its own. The studert first begins as a sin gle proprietor, anil after advancing sufficiently, he admits a partner and the business is conducted in this form for another period, when he finally incorporates the business and conducts it on this plan. Kac'i student is furnished with capital in the form of college cur rency with which to close leases, pay rent, make a purchase of office fur niture, machine?, etc. lie deposits his money in the bank, buys and sells goods; draws checks, notes, and drafts; discounts notes at the bank; opens and closes his books at regu lar periods, and in this way he not only learns to transact business cor rectly, but he also keeps his own books which are made up entirely from his own transactions with other members of the department. This new department will develop business acumen, self-reliance, and accuracy. It is intensely interesting. It is a part of the regular course and, therefore, costs the student no extra tuition. The college invites the attention of. visitors to this nov el department. Send the boys and girls to South Bend for a real live business course. The Republican has paid a personal visit to this actual business department of the S B B C, and heartily recommends the same. Students mav enter at anv time, ow ing to the method of individual in struction. Write the college today for catalog. Your inquiry will re ceive courteous attention.
