Below are brief stories of a few of the hundreds of young men and young women who are traveling successward via Stickler's Topeka Business College training.

MANY of the old graduates of Strickler's remember Frank A. Redmond, a student in 1912, and a member of the faculty until 1915. In 1915 he left us to take a two-year course in the Harvard Business School. In a written during May, he says: "During my two years in Harvard, and at all times since, I have had constant use for my Strickler business training. While at Harvard I made practically all my expenses by doing bookkeeping and stenographic work.

first work after leaving Harvard was in a railway office, where a considerable part of my duties had to do with statistics, but I could not have obtained the position had I not also been a stenographer. From the railroad office I went into 1. roduction work for the Ordnance Department and later into the army. "After my discharge from the army, my first position was bookkeeper for the Manhattan Milling Company, Manhattan, Kan.

In a recent letter Lillie Miss Wells said: Wells "When I enrolled for the Combined Course I had but a slight idea of its practicability, but my idea soon broadened, and I especially noted that Topeka Business College not only teaches but thoroughly trains its students. It gives me great pleasure to recommend institution to all young people who your desire to win for themselves a high standing in the commercial world." HAROLD McKINNEY came Strickler's from Iola, Kan.

Upon the completion of the Stenographic Course he secured an exceedingly good stenographic position in the office of the State Superintendent of Insurance. In coming to Topeka to get his business training Mr. McKinney disregarded several very good business schools near his home, preferring Strickler's because of the fine reputation of the school, and the fact that Strickler train- Frank A. Redmond ing is practically position insurance. GLADYS KERSHAW is a Burlington, girl, who came to Strickler's Topeka Business College for their Stenographic Course.
