A knowledge of this type of accounting is mandatory with all organiza- tions handling General Motors equipment and cars. The principles involved are similar to the accounting systems of the Ford and Chrysler organizations. The student who masters this course is competent to handle the other automotive accounting systems. The cost of the texts, working sheets and books- 39.00. . CALCULATING MACHINE COURSE A There is a demand for calculator machine oper- ators, especially in the larger trade centers such as Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Indianapolis and Detroit. We give a certain amount of instruction on the calculating machine as a part of our routine course of instruction in the business department. This teaches the keyboard and the operation of the various types of computations. Those who wish to specialize on this machine may take a more compre- hensive course. In addition to the regular informative course given in the business department, we offer two special courses which prepare the students for the more exacting requirements of work as a full time calculating machine operatorg a six weeks course and a twelve weeks' course. Cost of the in- struction book for the six weeks' course is 50c. ' SOCIAL SECURITY, WITHDRAWAL TAX Sz UNEMPLOYMENT TAX ACCOUNTING The instruction given in our rapid calculation classes and in our regular accounting work amply prepares the student for pay roll accounting. Those students who wish additional information on these subjects' can get the necessary advice and reference books by consulting any of the teachers in the book- keeping and accounting departments. THE STENOTYPE COURSE Stenotype-New classes start the first of each month, provided there is a sufficient number to form a class.

In the case of our bookkeeping and elementary accounting texts, we have written and published our own texts over a period of seventy-seven years. In our opinion, there are no better textbooks on the market today. These books are modernized each year to meet the chang- ing conditions caused through new laws governing the income tax, social security, unemployment com- pensation, and other federal laws. The following is a list ofthe principal textbooks in use, together with the cost at the time this catalog goes to press. A College Edition Bookkeeping ........ ........

24 GEM clTY BUSINESS COLLEGE, QUINCY, l,LLlNols . HIGHER ACCOUNTING For our higher accounting work, we offer the popular course of instruction known as the Wal- ton course in higher accounting which IS one of the outstanding courses of accounting. It has. been adopted by a large number of the leading universi- ties and colleges of the country. The texts and lectures have been developed and built along sound, practical pedagogical lines presenting to the student such a course of study as will meet the ever increas- ing needs and requirements of modern business. The work is presented in an interesting manner and as the student learns the principles and technique of accounting, he also develops the power of analysis, reasoning, and concentration. In order to obtain the best results from any course in Accounting it is suggested that the student .be thoroughly prepared along the lines of bookkeeping prior to its study. We therefore advise the com- pletion of our Business course before attempting the work in higher accounting. The Walton course is divided into live sections. These may be studied in the order listed. However, the student may follow any section independently of the rest of the course, should he so desire. SECTION I WALTON CONSTRUCTIVE ACCOUNTING Constructive accounting consists of thirty-three lectures with supporting problems, theory questions and three practice sets. Single proprietorship, part- nership, and corporation principles are thoroughly covered. There has been woven into the lectures much that would come under the heads of business organization and management, corporate finance, and system building. Drills in preparing operating and financial statements are also included in this section. Special lecture on Social Security Taxes. 33 lectures, problems and theory questions- practice set work, blank forms for practice set work, contained in 2 , three-post, loose-leaf semi-flexible text binder. .

26 GEM CITY BUSINESS COLLEGE, QUINCY, ILLINOIS l 9 ,J UNITED STATES CIVIL SERVICE ATTRACTIVE SALARIES AND HOURS OF WORK The hub of the nation's business centers in Washington, D.C. It is the seat of Congress and the majority of the government Bureaus are lo- cated in that city. A number of the Outstanding Museums and Universities are there and it is one of the cultural spots of the world. The majority of the workers in the government offices are under the United States Civil Service. Under the original Civil Service Act, a person is selected from an eligible list and after a period of probation, is certified to his position on a permanent basis. As long as his work is of a satisfactory nature, he can depend on a permanent position with pension benefits after he has reached retirement age. There are ample chances for advancement in rank and salary and there is the added incentive for one located in Washington in being able to complete any type of educational training that he wishes. There are three grades of typists, stenographers, and six grades of clerks with Salaries ranging from 31756.00 to 33021.00 a year. The basic time is a five day, forty hour week, and for hours in excess of forty hours in any week the pay is one and one-half times the basic rate. The three initial grades and the salary scale of each is as follows: TYPIST-+STENOGRAPHERS-CLERK . . Basic Position Salary CAF-1 .... ...,. S 1750.00 CAF-2 .... 1954.00 CAF-3 .... 2163 28 CAF-4 .... 1 f I 1 13239400 The additional grades for clerks have the follow- ing optional branches: PERSON N EL-PURCHASING-STOCK ACCOUNTING-STATISTICAL-RATE Basic Position Salary CAF-5 ................................ 2644.80 CAF-6 ................................ 3021.00 For those individuals who can qualify, either by training or experience there are higher grades under the headings of ACCOUNTANT and AUDITOR with salary ranges from 33874.00 to 33397.20 and from 39378.33 to 39975.00 respectively. The next series of classifications are as follows: Basic Position Salary CAF- 7 33397.20 CAF- 8 3773.40 CAF- 9 4149.60 CAF-10 4525.80 CAF -1 1 4902.00 CAF-12 5905.00 CAF -13 7102.20 CAF-14 8179.50 CAF-15 9975.00 It will be readily seen fromthe above that there are ample opportunities for those persons who are Quallfied and competent. Because of that reason We urge all persons to complete the training offered at Gem City before going to Washington as th1S will make. it possible for one to qualify for a better classification than might be possible without the thorough foundation given in this institution. 11 W' U ,I P' 7.1 'S I! -' lf . r , Lf? ff A, .- Uf' Q., ,age , . fLsQ,,,l!1.' a'f.1 E' . 1. r-Y' Milly , gf J 45 ' ., Zag .
