DON'T Buy A COLD BRICK..
Some 'smooth' salesman can sell inferior goods because they happen to
be convincing talkers and represent their goods as the 'rear stuff'. Do not
be deceived by these when buying an article which you expect to use the
rest of your life. Use judgment in selecting your business course.
We do not ask you take our course because of sentiment or predudice.
It is a straight business proposition. We ask you to investigate the mer-
its of our school because we believe we can offer advantages not offered
elsewhere.
