The place to learn bookkeeping or
shorthand is in a good business col-
lege. The manager of the Bay City
Business college has hundreds of for-
mer students holding fine positions
all over the state of Texas. He has
had years of experience in business
college work and knows “ust what a
student needs. The New Commercial
shorthand taught in the Bay City Bus-
iness College »has stood the test of
eight years in New York, and in every
contest has beaten the Gregg, Pitnam,
Graham, Sloan Duploin, Pernin and
others. It is plainer to read, easier
learned and more rapidly written than
any other system. Students make a
great mistake when they take some
other system under an inexperienced
teacher; for whn they get through,
they have nothing that they can hold
a position on. And it takes them some
