Be Successful
Learn shorthand in your own home. Shorthand helps all to success. The Paragon system is one that can be learned quickly and easily. It is wonderfully simple. It is used in offices of the large corporations (Standard Oil Co., Westinghouse Co.) the U.S. Government and in Court Reporting. It is being endorsed and adopted by leading high schools and business colleges. It is easy to learn, easy to write and easy to read--these are the three requisites for a successful system of shorthand.

LOW COST. The cost of this wonderful system of shorthand is remarkably low. It is less than 1/4 the cost of others. Just think of the best and most efficient system of shorthand in the world for a small sum of money--a chance for those who are ambitious and earnest to improve their condition at a nominal cost.

EASY TO LEARN. A bright mind can learn Paragon shorthand in seven lessons--a lesson a day. Even the average can do that--certainly in two weeks one can acquire it. Speed comes with practice. When you compare this to six months or more under the old systems, you perceive how easy it must be.

SIMPLICITY is the keynote of this system. It is easy to learn, easy to write, easy to read after you write it. It is fast and accurate. There is no shading or other complicated arrangements.

Besides being useful to preachers, doctors and lawyers for taking notes, it offers and opportunity for those who wish to advance themselves. If you are not interested call this to the attention of some of your ambitious young friends. Write at once for information. 

WHAT ONE MAN DID
Here is a picture of Dan'l Washington who worked in a Y. M. C. A. building, became ambitious and studied shorthand to improve himself. He succeeded well--others can do the same.
          652 Mass. St., Gary, Ind., January 16, 1915.

Mr. A. Lichtentag, New Orleans, La.
     Dear Sir:--It affords me great pleasure in testifying to the efficiency and simplicity of your Paragon system of Shorthand, after having studied some of the more complicated systems without much success.
     While working in the Y. M. C. A. Building a few months ago, I had occasion to examine your system of Shorthand, and after reading the preface of your book, I found it was just what I needed--a system that could be learned without a teacher, as I could not afford to attend a Shorthand School. By looking over the principles, which are embodied in several short lessons, and which I mastered by devoting a few minutes each morning glancing into the desk copy in the Principal's office, it had proved to me, beyond doubt, that Paragon is in a class by itself. After about four weeks, I told Prof. Evenson that I had mastered the Paragon System of Shorthand, and he gave me an examination in order to satisfy himself that I really had. He advised me to continue and I had him get me a book. Now I am able to write any of the letters in your dictation book, and in fact, anything that I can write in longhand. I find no trouble in reading my notes.
     I think so well of Paragon Shorthand that I am going to devote my entire time in putting Paragon before the people of my race. I cheerfully recommend the system to all who are interested in learning Shorthand either for business or pleasure.
          Very truly yours, DANIEL M. WASHINGTON
The Paragon Institute, 68-76 Coliseum Street, New Orleans, La.
