Endeavor to reach Quincy on a business day. We do not keep the college office open on Saturday afternoons or on Sundays. If you should happen to arrive on Sun- day, go to a hotel and come to the College office on Monday morning. COMMERCIAL STUDENTS FROM OTHER SCHOOLS. Many young people who have taken commercial work in High Schools, Business Colleges, or by correspondence, attend our school each year. Some of these students come for the purpose of completing courses partially finished elsewhere, or with the idea of reviewing and perfecting work that has previously been indifferently done. Having a large number of graded shorthand classes, such students can secure exactly the work needed to most rapidly perfect them as stenographers. WRITE TO US. When you have decided to come to our school please write to us and state the date you expect to arrive in Quincy. A WEEKLY ALLOWAN CES. Guardians desiring to make weekly allowances for their wards' ex- penses, may send money direct to us with the re- quest that any certain sum be paid to the student each week, and our cashier will see that the request is followed. . STUDENTS' DEPOSIT for expenses. The college has made provision for taking care of any amount of money a student may wish to bring for his general expenses. The college will place these funds on deposit and the students may draw from them as their needs require. This has proved a great convenience to students in the past and each year many take advantage of this privilege. WRITE FOR INFORMATION. If you wish further information concerning our courses write to President D. L. Musselman, who will be pleased to explain anything pertaining to the school. THE ACTUAL BUSINESS DEPARTMENT presents an interesting and lively scene to visitors. It is a veritable beehive of industry. Here the students are conducting, on their own account and with one another, the various lines of business embraced in the course. Wholesale dealers are filling orders from retail merchants. They, in turn, are selling to their customers or learning of a better market elsewhere, are shipping goods away to a commission merchant, who sells them and returns the proceeds. The transportation company is busy receiving and delivering shipments to purchasers, insurance agents are writing policies on property, real estate dealers are making salesg bank tellers are receiving deposits or paying checksg merchants are borrowing money at the banks, or discounting the notes received from their customers, bank clerks are collecting notes and drafts, stenographers are taking dictation-and all the business activities of a great city are here going on at one time, each student striving to make a success of his work. This department is a miniature business world in itself. Page Nine
