C’ARTIER SHORTHAND
In point of simplicity, brevity
and eglbillty Is emphatically the
muHTemarhable shorthand system
of ic age. It can be lesrnsd in

mis readily and rapidly, and It
ca be read with far greater ease

hid system. What more Is to be

To Whom It May Concern:
I have been attending Bagwell's

ease. 1 am satisfied that Chartler's
Is the easiest and the best short
hand system In existence; that It
can be comprehended In . a shorter
time, written faster, can be read
more easily than any other sys
tem. Every character Is made so
plain that one can not help but
grasp It readily. I have found It
to be all that It had been recom
mended to be, and will advise any
one who wishes to take up a busi
ness course to visit this collage by
all means.

To Whom It May Concern; ■
After a six-weeks' study of
Chartier Shorthand I can easily
take dictation at the rate of one
hundred words per minute.
I have studied other systems, but
find that the Chartier system as
taught at Bagwell’s Business Col
lege is by far superior to them all.
I feel sure that I will. In a short
time, be capable of holding a good
position. I advise any one who
wishes to take a business course to
enter this school.
Very respectfully.

Dear Professor Bagwell—It Is
with much pleasure that 1 give
my hearty Indorsement to both
your college and the Chartier sys

After six weeks' actual attend
ance and t wlthout previous knowl
edge of any system of shorthand,

stenographer with the George
Muse Clothing Company, which ,
you kindly secured for me. As far
as I know, I am giving perfect sat

per month and my work, so far. Is
giving perfect satisfaction.
I believe that you have the best
school In Georgia and I will always
recommend It every chance I get.
Chartier Shorthand is all and more
than you claim for It. After I had
been In school only ten days I could
write short business letters read

No shorthand system has ever
attracted Buch widespread Inter
est and attention In so short a
time; 146 of the biggest and beat
business colleges of the United
States have adopted Chartier
Shorthand during the past two
years. This fact alone Is a liv
ing contradiction of anything that
may be said against It by those
who are barred from teaching It.
Our competitors arc^not expected
to praise It; . that would bo bad

they can do Is to "knock” It—to
ralse the cry, "No good."

The school occupies the hand
