NEW AND PERMANENT HOME OF THE RICHMOND
BUSINESS COLLEGE, CORNER BULL AND YORK
STREETS, SAVANNAH, GA.
On Friday, the 15th instant, The Richmond Busi
ness College will begin its removal from the Masonic
Temple to its newly acquired, large and commodious
quarters in the Georgia State Building, corner Bull
and York streets. The institution will be ready and
open for business in all departments on Monday
morning, May 18.
The Richmond Business College was established
in 1882 by Prof. C. S. Richmond. Since 1898, this
model institution has been ably managed by Prof.
C. J. Richards who became its president in 1903.
This is the sixth time that it has been found neces
sary to increase its facilities for the better accommo
dation of a large and constantly growing patronage.
The new quarters are commodious and elaborately
fitted and furnished, and have been arranged with
especial regard to the comfort and convenience of
the pupils, day and night and in all seasons of the
year.
Under the wise direction of President Richards,
The Richmond Business College has always kept
well abreast of the times, and has been ever ready
to take up and adopt in its various courses any
and every new idea which gave promise of improve
ment in methods for the thorough equipment of its
patrons for making their respective ways in the
world, independently of all save self.
The management has labored hard for the benefit
of the pupils entrusted to their care, and the fact
that there is hardly a business house or office in
Savannah or vicinity without one or more of its
graduates, is convincing proof of its usefulness and
popularity. Nor has its patronage been restricted
to its home town. Pupils have been in attendance
from other towns and cities, as well as from the
country districts in various sections of the State,
and in many instances, from other States.
THE REASON
In the Richmond Business College there are five
courses taught.
Pupils may enter the College at any time and for
either day or evening instruction. Diplomas are
awarded to all who graduate in any one of the
courses.
The Commercial Course is designed to give prep
aration for business life, with the least possible sacri
fice of time and money—to give a thorough and
scientific course of instruction and training in the
principles and the mechanical work in bookkeeping
and its collateral branches, as well as in all the de
tails of office work, and to afford as complete a
knowledge of the underlying principles which
govern business, as time will permit.
The Shorthand Course affords such instruction
in shorthand, typewriting, correspondence, language,
etc., as will enable the pupil to become a capable
stenographer in the shortest possible time, and
the English Course affords those who require it,
thorough and systematic review of the common
branches, and those whose opportunities for study
have been limited, complete instruction in the more
necessary branches.
The Penmanship and Typewriting Courses are
unequaled.
It is no exaggeration to say that there is not an
institution of its kind in the country better equipped,
or whose courses of instruction are more thorough
than The Richmond Business College offers to the
young men and young women to prepare themselves
for a life of usefulness and independence. The
importance of a business education cannot be over
estimated, and the fact that this is realized by all is
testified to by the action of all schools and colleges
adding commercial departments to their course of
instruction, as rapidly as possible.
New Trust Company for Savannah.
An announcement of interest to rent payers is
that of the Standard Trust Co., a corporation with
an authorized capital of $500,000, that has lately
come to Savannah. The company's offices are in the
National Bank building, room 112. The manager
is Mr. O. 11. McMaken, of long experience and special
ability in the management of trust company affairs.
The company loans money with which to pur
chase homes in SI,OOO, $2,000, $3,000, $4,000 and
$5,000 amounts. Borrowers may pay back at 5 per
cent, simple interest in monthly installments. This
gives ten years and longer to settle the face value of
all loans. The money may be used to build homes
on approved property, pay off mortgages or buy
homes outright. The company's reserve fund is in
creasing at the rate of SIO,OOO monthly.
Homes built by the Standard Trust Co. in Savan
