Main Office. Commercial Exchange. School of Shorthand. Main Room.
The road to success may be as plain as "the road to mill," but notwithstanding this, manv who seek it do not find it. There are many things that lead to a successful career, among which may be reckoned, in addition to the general qualifications, honesty, industry, continuity, etc.. the element of preparation. It is a truism that ships should be prepared for a sea voyage before sailing, and soldiers be trained for battle before fighting. Why not train young men and women for success before they go out to buffet with the waves of practical life; why not drill and discipline them for the battle before they begin to fight it, and not send them weaponless into the conflict to be broken and discouraged by certain defeat.
The Capital City Commercial College and the Capital City School of Shorthand, Y. M. C. A. building. Des Moines, Iowa (views of which may be seen on the opposite page), are among the leading training schools of this country for the preparation of young men and women for business life. Hundreds of students go out from them each year better equipped for life's work, better able to do something useful and profitable, better prepared to at once earn an honest livelihood, than are graduates of many classical institutions. Catalogues will be sent anywhere upon request. Address Mehan & McCauley, Des Moines, Iowa.
