AN OPEN LETTER
For twenty-five years we trained
and placed all worthy graduates, but,
for the past four years we hesitated
to press young people to take up our
line. Now, with the renewal of busi-
ness activities and the passing of the
'depression', we are placing hundreds
f well-trained young people. It is
therefore a great pleasure that we
•can again, with great confidence and
assurance, knowing -whereof we speak,
advise young people of the great op-
portunities awaiting •those with a
modern business training. For girls,
nursing and teaching, no longer offer
similar chances.
Hundreds of young people are sav-
ing time and money by our Mail
Courses. Those wishing a city school
should attend in Toronto where nine
out of every ten positions are, and
not a small city with no situations
Begin Home Study now, enter later,

mitted we are in the best position to
assist young people after graduating.
