Hill's Business College,
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Miss Elsie Moulder accepted a po-
sition with the Interstate Advertising
Co., in Oklahoma City last week.
Mr. Allen accepted a position with
W illiamson-Halsell-Frazier Mercan-
tile Co., in Oklahoma City this week.
Miss Una Stell, Miss Lillian Hay-
den and Miss Freda Green have been
working for the Oklahoma City Times
for the last few days.
Mr. Fenton Moore has been doing
stenographic work for W. W. Robert-
son for the past few weeks.
Mr. J. Dahlen accepted a position
with Yellow Stone Park Transporta-
tion Co.
Mr. Leroy Johnson accepted a po-
sition with McCord Collins Mercan-
tile Co., of this City.
Mr. Leslie Smith has received an
increase in salary and is getting
along nicely in his position.
We have extended our special rates
for a short time longer and anyone
contemplating attending a business
college should, by all means, write
us for this special rate and catalogue.
We pay the fare to school and do not
ask any tuition until the student is
thoroughtly satisfied with the school.
Now is a good time of the year in
which to enter a busiuess college for
business is getting better all the time,
consequently more positions are be-
ing offered us. There is a world of
opportunities for young men and
women and one who has ambition is
sure to succeed. There is nothing in
which you can put your money that
will bring you one tenth of the returns
as you will get from a business edu.-
cation.
The young person who wishes to
get a position now without a business
training will meet with failure, in fact
a business training is absolutely es-
sential to every man or woman.
The farmer has begun to realize
that he needs a businsss education
as much as any one else, and the
farmer boy or girl who expects to go
to a city to get a position is compel-
led to have fhis training before they
can even get started, but after they
do they make the very best of success
on account of their health and good
habits.
If interested write today.
If a man has money to burn, he
can easily find a woman willing to
furnish a match.
In the course of a year ground
worms will bring to the surface
about ten tons of soil to the acre.
