1 THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , AUGUST 23 , 1907 ' 4 ( SHORTHAND , TYPEWRITING AND PENMANSHIP ) OPENS SEPTEMBER 1907 PARENTSj READ THIS Parents , do you ever stop to think that if you do not educate your sons and daughters while they arc growing : up. they are almost sure to go through life in ignorance ? You , perhaps , expect to leave them a little property. Now , it would cost you forty-five dollars each to give them a good education in our college. Which do you think would be of the most value to them when they have grown to maturity , a few dollars more in property or the education ? They can easily ' earn the money , but they are not likely to get the education unless they do it while under your charge. These are the days of quick-rich and quick-poor. Wealth , you know , may take wings and fly away in a single night , but if you leave your children with minds stored with useful knowledge they never can come to want. There is today , a sharp dividing line in this country between the educated and the uneducated , and it is noticeable that the last named always do the drudgery and receive the smallest pay. Your senor or daughter , I am sure , would like to spend a few months in our college , and all that is needed is your encouragement and sanction. Perhaps you will say , "Wait until I am more prosperous. " I reply , "By that time it may be too late. " Many things happen , you know , in a very short time ; but if you live and prosper , possibly by the time you are ready your son or your daughter will have passed the usual school age and will be no longer interested ; then you will never forgive yourself for not educating them at the proper time. ANNOUNCEMENT We have collected a great many tes timonials from our former students who are now holding- excellent posi tions and drawing large salaries , and these we had intended to have pub lished in the form of catalogue. Find- ind the cost would be too great unless we increased our tuition charges , we have abandoned this idea , and shall publish but a few of the great number of recommendations that have been so kindly furnished by our former students. Remember that we own our building , do our own teaching and owe no man a cent. This explains why our tuition is lower than that of simi lar institutions. Did you ever think , my dear students , that the fine cata logues sent out by some of our fine colleges , the rent for the great build ings they occupy , the interest on sev eral hundred dollars invested in line school furniture and the high salaries drawn by their teachers , are all paid by you. Postmaster. Falls City , Neb. This is to certify that two of my sons , daughter and several of my relatives have attended the Kails City Business College. I have visited the .school on several oc casions and believe Professor Q. M. Bar rett to be an excellent instructor and the training in all departments of this in stitution very thorough. Very sincerely , 0. J. CROOK. KANSAS CITY , Mo. , July 110,1007. Prof. G. M. Barrett , Falls City , Nebr. Dour Sir : It always gives mo grent pleasure to apeak a good word for the Pnlls City Business College and those connected with it , and any assistance my name might give you will not repay the debt of gratitude I fool I owe to you and the college. I believe that any young man or woman desirous of n business education cun secure it from n course iu the Falls City Business College as well as in any of the promi nent colleges of the country. From what little I have seen of this world , 1 realize the fact more every day , that no young person should start out in this busy world , expecting to succeed in life without first securing a good business education , and I do not be lieve that any one with this view in mind should pass up the Falls City Business College thinking they will receive better instruction elsewhere. Wishing you the abundance of suc cess you so well deserve in your work , I remain , Respectfully , RALPH HEDGES. Columbian Hog and Cattle Powder Co. Ralph Hedges , Secretary und assist ant Manager.

After graduating from your school nt the ago of eighteen , I worked in a real estate ofllce for about one yearaud then came to Kansas City and accepted a position as book keeper with the above named company , and have been with then ever since , and am now secretary and assistant manager at a salary of 1500.00 per year.

Mr. Charles Hedges , the father of those four boys , formerly lived south of this city and is recognized by every one as being a good farmer and shrewd business man.

Omaha , Neb. , August 15 , 11)07. ) To Whom It May Concern It gives me great pleasure to recommend the Falls City lUisinebs College to the young people of Richardson county , who are anxious to secure an education that will be worth many times the cost. After graduating from this institution about four years ago , I accepted a posi tion as book-keeper in this hank , and have been promoted until 1 am now pay ing teller. My ability to obtain and hold this position is due to the thorough training received under the direction of Professor Barrett. 1 most earnestly advise every young person to spend a few months in .some good Business College , before .sturtiflii out upon life's work , and thereby avoid many mistakes and business losses that are sure to conic to every one entering upon the duties of this busy world , without having a thorough knowledge of the up-to-date methods now in use.

Dear Friend and Teacher Your most welcome letter received this morning and it was indeed a pleasure to hear from you again. Yes , I am still with Cridcr Bros. , and will finish my fifth year with them in about six weeks.

Dear Sir On returning from my vaca tion 1 found your request for a recom mendation , which I assure you gives me great pleasure to forward by today's mall. To say all I would like to in praise of the Falls City Business College , would require more space , I fear than you can give to any one student , when I know that many of your former pupils are holding good positions , and uro only too anxious , as well as myself to spcuk a few good words in behalf of your Institution that prepared us all for the good positions that they are now holding. I have been stenographer for the Bar rett Manufacturing Co. , of this city , for the past two years , and am well pleased with my position , us it is not only pleas ant but profitable to me. I often wonder why more young people that live iu and about Falls City , do not avail themselves of the splendid opportunity they have of attending a first class Business College at such a small cost , and thereby pre pare themselves for a useful and honor able life. Young men and young women wanting the best possible preparation for success as u book-keeper arid steno grapher , and the influence of Professor Barrett in helping them to a good posi tion , should select the Falls City Busi ness College , and if they study while in school as they should , will never have cause to regret it. Yours very truly , IVA M. DOUULAH. Stenographer and Typewriter. ST. PAUL , MINN. , August 13 , 1907. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN : If over I feel grateful over the result of a judicious investment , it is when I recall to memory the pleasant hours spent at the Falls City Business College - logo in quest of that primary knowledge - lodge of business principles , so essent ial to the success of the youth who contemplates entering the commercial world. As the weeks roll by I realize moro and more , how beneficial the in struction received while attending the Falls City Business College has been to me , not only in securing but hold ing the good position I now occupy. 1 believe that every person , should add to his qualifications a practical knowledge of book-keeping und the ability to write a neat , and above all , legible hand. A good hand writing is within the reach of all , and us it is so easily no- quired there can bo no excuse for the badly written application , which in most cases , finds its way to the waste basket and remains unanswered , while the writer , who , as yet , has failed to realize the importance of good writing , wonders why ho receives no reply. The demand for competent book keepers and stenographers is greater now than over before , und those quali fications have boon the stepping stones to many high positions. Hoping that the Falls City Business College will continue to flourish until poor accounting and bad writing are things of the past , I am. Yours very respectfully , J. C. LEISTER. Bookkeeper and Stenographer. Omaha , Nob. , August 1-1,1907. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN : This is to certify that I have taken a complete course in the Falls City Business College. I first entered the cominoroial department and after wards taking up the stenographic course , which I completed last spring. On the llth of last March I loft school to accept a position as stenographer with the Wells Fargo it Co. , Express at Omaha. They started mo at ? 50.00 per month and during that time I have had ono promotion and have the promise of another soon. All that I have accomplished along this line I owe to my taking a course under the tutorship of Prof. Barrett. It is better than going to a college in a larger city , as tnoro interest is taken in you and the instructor can give you moro personal instruction , and at the Bdino time it is moro economical. After you have completed a course , you can secure a recommendation from Prof. Bnrrett which will amount to some thing. I received one which was a very largo factor in getting a start with the Wells Fargo it Co. , Express. Anybody who wishes to enter the business lifo will never regret taking a course under Prof. Barrett. Youra sincerely , STANLEY B. DIXON. CHICAGO , ILL. , July 20,1907. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN !

Yours respectfully , TYI-BWIIITEH Co. Avoid Danger. Every time we road about the crime disease and poverty in the large cities it Is a cause of thankfulness that we are unable to get into a big town. The simple life is the real thing and the simpler the better for most of us. Falls City Journal. Father , mother : did you ever stop to think of the danger in sending your HOUS and daughters to the large cities ? Your son or daughter goes to college for ono of two purposes to spend your hard earned money having a good time , or to acquire knowledge that will bo worth a fortune to them as they grow oldor. If you keep them in a small city , and a small school , they are properly cared for , and the dangers of the largo city removed. Backward Students , Many young men and young women who have neglected their earlier edu cation are too backward to mingle with the children of the public school. To this class wo have to say that In our college there is nothing to embar- ras you , us wo give you private instruc tion at your desk , until you can enter classes without feeling the least em barrassment. If you uro thinking of attending school , wrlto to any first- class Business College and get their terms and you will find that wo can give you the same course of study from fc > 0 to ? 30 cheaper.
