Syracuse- The City of Big Opportunity A Prosperous Business City HE important position which Syracuse occupies among the cities of the State is due to its cen- tral location and the number and variety of its industries. As a manufacturing city, Syracuse takes high rank. It is one of the great centers of the steel industry. The Solvay Process Company and thc Semet-Solvay Company, just outside of the city, fuinish employment to thousands of men and women. It has excellent shipping facilities and is the great distributing center for Central and Northern New York. The city has grown rapidly and the extension of the business district during the past few years has been very marked. Central City is situated in the heart of the business and shopping district and is one of the real factors in the business life of thi: busy ci-ty. Its graduates make up the office forces ot' these large industries. Education and Employment The City of Syracuse and the prosperous surround- ing towns afford unusual advantages to the ambitious young man or woman. The business activity of the city and its many institutions of learning make it an ideal place in which to obtain a business educa- tion and secure a remunerative position. Health-The Purest of Water To young people attending school in a strange city, a question of great importance is the general health- fulness of that city. Syracuse can boast that its sanitary condition is excellent, and that its water supply is the finest in the country. The fact that there has never been anything like an epidemic among 'our students ist largely due to the pure water with which the city is abundantly supplied. This water is brought from Skaneateles Lake, a distance of 17 miles. Attractive Features Nor'is it alone from a business point of view that we have reason to be proud of our city. With its fine churches, Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., a great University, new Carnegie library, and art museum, it offers many attractive features. For those who take pleasure in outdoor recreation there are nu- merous public parks and squares within the city, and many points of interest nearby which may be reached easily.

Employment HE great majority of young men and women who attend a business school do so with the expectation of obtaining employment after com- pleting the course of training. A reputable school that enjoys the confidence of the businessi men of the community can render valuable assistance to its worthy graduates in the matter of securing positions for them. The aim of Central City Business School is to give its pupils a preparation so thorough that Central City' ' Central City as at present constituted enjoys the combined influence of three well-known and long- established institutions- The Henry-Wallace ffor- merly Meads' Business Collegel, The Henley, and Dakins', and businessmen turn to us when in need of office help. It is gratifying to us to fini the scope of our influence widening month by month, not only in Syracuse, but in the surrounding country. We have several calls nearly every week that we cannot they can do the work the business. world wants done, and then to use every effort to place them satisfactorily. We are proud of our record in this respect. On tl1e pages of this prospectus we present the portraits of a few of our students who are now in positions secured by us or through their own efforts. We wish space here would permit our giving more, but we will be pleased to furnish more com- plete information on this point to anyone interested. Facilities fill, because we have not the right applicant to recommend. At the present time the demand is greater than ever before in the history of the school, and the calls for help will far exceed the total enroll- ment for the year. Our experience has been such that we will undertake to place in a position every young man or woman who will complete one of our courses of study and prove worthy of our recom- mendation in all respects. Out-of-Town Employment Every year we have students who desire to locate in New York, or in some other large commercial center, after completing the course. Through our connection with the typewriter agencies and the National Association of Stenotypists, we are enabled to assist all such to secure positions. Former Graduates We wish all graduates of the consolidated schools would keep in touch with us. We can nearly always secure another position for you when you need one. We are pleased to do this without any expense to you.
