day. It has over 30,000 enthusi-
astic writers; it holds the world’s
record for speed in a given length
jf time, is the most simple, legi-
ble and rapid system in use, as is
shown from the following re-
marks by our students who first
studied other systems:
“I take pleasure in telling the
public that the Bryne Simplified
Shorthand is the only system.
1 previously studied Pitman 3
months, used it in actual practice
for four months: at the end of 6
weeks study of the Byrne I was
a better writer than I had ever
been with the Pitman.”
‘‘I have been a Sloan-Duployan
stenographer for 15 years; I
found the system inadequate. I
then took the Gregg under Mr.
Gregg of Chicago, but found it il-
legible. I then took up the Byrne
which I consider the stenograph-
ic marvel of the age.”
‘T first studied Pitman Short-
I hand, then took up the Byrne,
and found the Byrne to be 35 per
cent shorter and that it could be
written at a much higher rate of
speed, and read like print.”
‘‘I studied Pitman 4 months,
gave it up in disgust; I then took
up Pernin and studied it almost
night and day for six months,
but was not competent to hold a
position. I then took up the
Byrne for 3 months and find I
can hold any kind of a position.”
‘T graduated in Graham short-
hand, writing 100 words a minute
after 9 months study. After
studying the Byrne Simplified,
together with Byrne Practical
Bookkeeping, for four months, I
could write Byrne much faster
andregard it superior to any oth-
er system. ”
‘ ‘I thoroughly mastered 14 sys-
tems, seven of the most promi-
nent Pitman system, Gregg,
Chartier, Byrne, and four minor
systems, and find the Byrne much
easier to read, that it can be
written with one and one-half
;ng to the hundreds of rules,
hundreds of exceptions and
thousands of word signs, I failed
to become a good stenographer.
After studying Byrne in yoqr
school two weeks, I had a more
practical working knowledge of
shorthand than I did after 27
months study of the Pitman.”
“After studying six different
Pitmanic system?. I was unable to
hold an ordinary office job, but
w;th five weeks study of the
Byrne I went into the District
Court and did reporting success-
fully, and was appointed regular
Court Stenographer.”
Why study any system of
shorthand other than the Bryne,
when the Byrne can be learned
in half the time or less, read with
greater ease and written at a
higher rate of speed which means
better salary and promotion? It
does not cost half as much to(«
complete a course in our school'1
as it does one of the other sys-
tems in other schools. We hold
the exclusive right to teach the
Byrne in this section.
Write for catalog containing
full indorsements and names and
addresses of the above and of
others who have tried the other
systems and abandoned them for
the Byrne. Our Bookkeeping
and Telegraphy are as far su-
perior to the other systems as is
the Bryne Shorthand. Don’t fail
to write or phone collect for our
large free catalogue.
