Barbara Me Peak 38 “The Exclusive Business School” Extends CONGRA TULA TIONS To The GRADUATING CLASS FULLY ACCREDITED A good school specializing in many branches of professional business training. You receive personal consideration of your interests or problems the moment you visit McLains. Guidance, Admissions and Placement are at your service. Small classes mean a more personal- ized education. A well-balanced program of study. Today, the ex- pression “learning the business” is fast disappearing from the vo- cabulary of business men. Modern business hasn’t time to vocation- ally start out its employees. The trained ones win! Well organized social activities, and athletic program to better prepare for social and civic leadership. You train for a defi- nite career goal. By studying only subjects directly related to the business field of your choice, requires shorter time with a resultant lower cost. It pays to prepare at McLains — just ask anyone who knows. McLAINS FOR THE BETTER POSITIONS 4th, 6th 7th Floor Coal and Coke Building Elevator Service Phone 8208 Federal Street Bluefield, W. Va.
