TEXTThe proper place for a young man or boy to acquire business knowledge is at a regular business college. Here he will acquire exclusively business methods, and learn by practical experience, the same as if in actual business, the management of different branches, and be trained in habits of order, neatness and accuracy. An establishment of this kind recently opened in Harlem, of this city, by two experienced managers and former teachers in business colleges in this city, has superior advantages to any other. It is called "Walworth & Willson's Business College of the City of New York," and is situated in the "New Horton Building," Nos. 108 and 110 East 125th Street, near Fourth Avenue. Its principals have had much experience in former colleges, and also in their present location, and a long list of successful graduates attests the superiority of their methods of teaching. Their names are C. A. Walworth, LL.B., and B. F. Willson. Mr. Walworth was founder of Business Colleges at Washington, D.C. (now Spencer's); Utica, N.Y. (now McCreary's); Cady, Willson & Walworth's. New York (now Cady's), and for ten years teacher of Bookkeeping, Pho- nography and Penmanship in "The College of the-City of New York," and at present also proprietor of Walworth's Stenographic Institute, No. 8 West Fourteenth Street. Mr. Willson was formerly principal of Willson & Walworth's (subsequently Cady, Willson & Walworth's) Business College, and for four years Associate Teacher of Bookkeeping, Penmanship and Commercial Arithmetic in "The College of the City of New York." Also, previously teacher in Business Colleges at Chicago, Ill.; Davenport, Iowa; Peoria, Ill. ; St. Paul, Minn.; La Crosse, Wis.; Detroit, Mich.: and Newark, N.J. Having resigned their former positions in the City College and Bold their down-town business school, they have opened this new and superior school, including all the newest and most attractive features. Here they present advantages not merely for residents of Harlem alone, but to pupils from every part of the city or suburbs, and even from other States. The building is new and elegant, fitted with elevator, thoroughly lighted and ventilated, and. furnished throughout in the best manner. It is easily accessible from all directions and is close to the stations of the Harlem and Hudson River, as well as the elevated roads. The courses of study are of the most thorough and complete character, everything necessary to a thorough business education being comprised in them. Stenography and Phonography are among the principal features of this establishment, and instruction is given in the use of the typewriter and the improved caligraph. The charges for instruction are as moderate as is consistent with the first-class character of the instruction given, being placed within the reach of all by the special terms made with those not able to pay in full; while reductions to clubs of two or more and special commissions will enable a pupil to acquire a thorough business education at a very.small expense. A separate department has been provided in this college for the use of ladies. This is the only business college in New York possessing this advantage, which is especially desirable on account of the increased employment of women in business positions. No other school has such advantages in preparing ladies for positions as clerks, cashiers or bookkeepers in stores, and that this fact is appreciated is shown by the large number already in attendance. An evening session of this college is open during part of the year, from October to June. The instruction is the same as in the day session. Pupils can join at any time, and each one receives separate and special instruction. Arrangements are also made for special private instruction to accommodate gentlemen already in business, who wish to give special attention to some one branch. The founders of the college are both old residents of New York, with a very large acquaintance among its business men, many of whom, now in prosperous life, were former graduates under their instruction in their earlier schools. They have called to their aid a large and experienced corps of teachers, making every branch of the institution as full and complete as possible.
