EDUCATIONAL

Progressive - Practical - Reliable

T HIS institution has always taken advance steps in the teaching of commercial subjects. Its courses are im- proved and modernized from time to time to keep pace with the rapid development of business and business methods. Needless to say, this fact is recognized by business men all over the state, by their preference for INDIANA BUSINESS COLLEGE GRADUATES. Students from this school Know How when they take up work in an office.

By our individual method of instruction, coupled with enthusiastic class drills, every student's needs are met. From the day one enters this school, he is taught with a view to be- coming a practical bookkeeper and stenographer. When he is qualified to accept a position, our EMPLOYMENT DE- PARTMENT is at his service, and without any cost whatever. This Department is in direct touch with business men and aims to fill positions scientifically.

This is one of the INDIANA BUSINESS COLLEGES, of which Chas. C. Cring is president. These schools are located in the following Indiana cities: Marion, Muncie, Anderson, Lafayette, Richmond, Columbus, Logansport, Washington, Vincennes, Newcastle, Kokomo, Crawfordsville, Peru and In- dianapolis.

A good way to determine just what you would like to study and the time to begin, would be to talk it over with us. Of course, we will be pleased to send you the information you want, but if you can come to the school that would be still better.
