shoulder real responsibility.
And thorough preliminary training must be the qualification of the
young man or woman who would gain the sort of experience which
quickly leads up the ladder of success.
That's why the sons and daughters of business men attend Peirce
School to learn how to do the little things quickly and the big things
well.
The PEIRCE SCHOOL graduate, because of the thorough training
given in the exact science of business procedure, is able from the very
beginning to do worth-while work, and assume real responsibility and
command a better-than-average position.
And a higher salary to start with sure, steady advancement
proves the value of the PEIRCE SCHOOL method.
