Location HE Peck-Warner Building, the home of Central City Business School, is centrally located on South Salina Street fwest sidel, Nos. 432-444, the number of the entrance being 438. It is only a short distance below Jefferson Street, a few doors south of the Clark Music Building, and directly across the street from the New Union Building. It is in the business center of Syracuse, and enterpris- ing business concerns, well known in Syracuse and vicinity, are on all sides of it. It is an ideal location for a business school, being easily accessible to all railroad and trolley lines and is entirely free from objectionable features, a point worthy of the con- sideration of the prospective student. A Modern Building 'Peck-Warner Building, erected in 1903, is a modern structure in every respect. It has a frontage of 100 feet on Salina Street and is. 100 feet deep, thus affording 10,000 square feet of floor space on each floor. The handsome 'quarters occupied by Central City were arranged for its use according to specially drawn plans, and as a result we have a suite of rooms that are almost ideal for a business school so far as arrangement is concerned. The proper heat- i11g, lighting, and ventilation received due attention, and nothing was left undone to promote the welfare of the students. School Equipment School equipment is an important factor in train- ing students for business. The furnishings of Cen- tral City Busin.ess School are in keeping with the modern, up-to-date building in which it is located. The study halls and classrooms are supplied with school furniture of the latest and most approved style. Every student is provided with a. desk in which books and supplies may be properly cared for. All class instruction and dictations are given in separate classrooms, so that the elegantly lighted and well- ventilated study halls are reserved for study and individual instruction. Typewriting Departments Our large typewriting departments always attract the attention of visitors to the school. Two ad- jacent rooms with accommodation for 130 students are equipped with standard machines of the latest models, 151 in all being provided for the use of the students. We use all the new visible or writing-in-sight machines, and these are kept in excellent repair and are replaced by new machines. when they no longer do good work. Our equipment includes L. C. Smiths, Remingtons, Monarchs, Underwoods, and .Smith-Premiers, and every graduate has an opportu- nity to become proficient in the operation of all these machines. The new copyholder device is a unique feature of this school, and has proved a valuable aid in teaching the touch method of oper- ating a typewriter.
