A RECORD
In 1898 the graduating class of Becker's Business College numbered eighty-three. Of this number six returned to the school for an additional course; seven have not taken situations, but all the others have secured good positions. Of those who returned to school several have since taken situations, and a number of those who have not were given opportunities to do so.
IN ADDITION
We have placed about forty of this year's pupils, and have been obliged to pass more than forty opportunities, as pupils were not ready.
A Natural Deduction. .
The young person who would succeed should select a school in which to prepare for business life whose pupils are thoroughly fitted, which has the confidence of the busi- ness public, and whose pupils are in demand. While Becker's College does not promise situations, it places more pupils than all others together. Send for catalogue.
