Roberts, of Atlanta,, and William W. Roberts, of Columbia, S. C. For many years Captain Roberts was a member of the First Methodist church and was an active worker, both In church and Sunday school.

Hobron. O 0 0 00000000000000000000000000 There is no argument like that of facts. Tho many. ysflords of students published by Bagwell Business College offer conclusive evidence that Chartler Shorthand can be learned In one-half th.- time and with one-fifth the effort required for the old system*, and. that It makes a much better stenographer. The public haw been fully convinced by the results scoured that the Chsrtier System Is- a great Improvement over the old methods. Young men and women from every section.of the state and the South have arranged to enter Bagwell Business College during the next few weeks. With the largest city attendance of any other school, the fall enrollment of this Institution promises to be the largest In the history of At lanta business, colleges. What's the Use to spend from six to ' ten months In studying liny of the old IMtimmlc sys tems If you can learn Chartler Short hand in Half ths time at half th* ex panse nnd at the same time make a ) Mter stenographer? I)o you know of any sensible reason why you should do According to past records ninety out of one hundred who take up the old systems of shorthand will have to remain In college six to twelve months or return home to suffer the chagrin of failure and disappointment. Why Take Any Risk? There are no failures with Chartler Shorthand for those of average intelli gence who are willing to work. We guarantee results, because we know that Chartler Shorthand Is all we claim for It. Bagwell Business College saves the student from three to six months’ time and from 4200 to 4300. Thousands of boys and girls from every section of the South will enter business colleges during the months of September and October. Any.one who Intends to take a business course will do himself a great Injustice not to in vestigate this wonderful system of shorthand. Repenting of Their Mistakes. • Many students of other business col leges In the city have called at Bag- well Business College to Investigate Chartler Shorthand In behalf pf friends who are thinking of taking a course. After seeing Its wonderful simplicity and being convinced that both its speed and reading power are greater than that of any of the old systems and seeing students who had been studying only four to six weeks write ordinary unfamiliar matter at the rate of fifty to one hundred words per minute and read their notes back without the slightest hesitation, havo -expressed themselves as being very sorry that they did not Investigate before paying their money for a course elsewhere. Do not wait until It Is too late. Do not be governed entirely by statements of competitors. They do not have th* right to teach It and can not afford to recognize Its merits. An Unaccepted Challenge. Bagwell Business College has pro« posed a number of times and still pro poses to contest a six weeks' student of the Chartler system against three- months pupils of the Graham. The matter dictated to consist of unfamiliar matter which none of the contestants has <.'ever seen before. It has . offered Its competitors $100 In cash to accept the proposition. /Why do they not ac cept? Evidently because they are afraid of the result. Doss it Stand to Reason that over two hundred of the biggest, test, oldest and most conservative business colleges of America, Including the great Eastman college at Pough keepsie, N. Y., would adopt this sys tem, and after thoroughly testing It. would make the same claims that we make fur It, If these claims were not true? Bagwell Business College has on file a large number of letters from these schools which state that they have secured better results In three to four months with Chartler Shorthand than was possible In less than six to eight months with any of the old sys tems. These letters will be shown to any who are Interested.- . . . *\ Bookkeeping by Aotual Business,. . The student “learns to do by doing.” Nothing Is copied. The school room Is turned Into a “business community,” a record.of every .transaction Is made In books, and the work Is Just'as real and practical as that of the ACTUAL MERCHANT. Our graduates, there fore, are avoided the necessity of "lenrnlng over” when they enter the business world.
