Willoughby, Asst. Chief Engineer. Colonial Mercantile Company HOUSEHOLD SPECIALTIES M. B. Hartsell, Mgr . 418 East Main St. Richmond, Va., June 8, 1915. Prof. W. D. Burns, Lawndale, N. C Dear Sir: —It gives me great pleasure to testify to the efficiency of the Business Department of Piedmont High School. Having been a student in the Shorthand Department there and also a stu¬ dent of one of the largest business colleges of the South, I speak from personal experience in saying that Piedmont offers a business course equal and in some respects superior to those given by the large and high priced business colleges of the country. A student in the Business Department of Piedmont has advantages which it is impossible to secure in a large city. Individual instruction is one advantage; board and tuition can be secured for one-half or two- thirds less than it can be gotten in a large city. As to environ¬ ments, I can frankly say that at Piedmont they are unequalled. I sincerely believe that anyone desiring a good, practical busi¬ ness education cannot make a wiser choice than to take a course in the Business Department of Piedmont High School. Very respectfully, R. W. Plunkett,
