I teach my own system which is just like keeping books in an office. I
have the shortest yet most complete and sensible system of bookkeeping ex-
tant. My life long experience in the mercantile world gives me the advantage
of being very familiar with all business forms, such as deeds of trusts, land
deeds and notes, mortgages and contracts, etc.
My lectures given daily on general business problemns is instructive to
my pupils and all classes of business men. I prepare my pupils for most any
line of work. After taking my commercial course, the pupil is prepared for
Banking, wholesale, and retail business, Railroad and all classes of bookkeep-
ing. I give below a few testimonials which speak for themselves:
Merkel, Texas,
July 1st, 1909
To the Public:
I am a graduate of A. S. Henry’s system of
bookkeeping, and I am handling bank books
and have kept other lino of books and 1 find I
have no trouble to keep any and all classes of
books. Mr. Henry’s system is short and easily
learned and just as practical as actual office
work- The course and his lecturers are well
worth $150 to any one and lie only charges the
small sum cf $25. Mr Henry will make good
all he promises. Respectfully.
A. H. Thornton, Bookkeeper.
Colorado, Texas,
duly, 1st, 1909.
To whom it concerns:
I am a graduate of A. S. Henry’s systeu of
book keeping and I find it prepared me t« keep
any class of books. 1 have kept books for
banks, wholesale and retail business and found
the training by A. S. Henry to prepare me for
all lines of work. Mr. Henry’s business lect-
ures are worth the price of his course. I com-
mend Mr. Henry’s work to all young men and
ladies deciding to entor any kind of commercial
work. Respectfully,
B. F. Smith, Book keeper for bank.
El Paso. Texas. July 10th. 1909-
To whom it concerns:
I gladly recomend A. S. lh nry’s system
of Bookkeeping and General Business Lecture
to all desiring to enter the business world.
Mr. Henry prepares his pupils thoroughly in
a very short time to take charge of any class
of book work. 1 am book keeper for a largo
Oil Co. and I find Mr. Henry’s instructions pre-
pared me well for this work.
I am glad to recommend both Mr. Henry and
his course. Being all-right ho will make good
every promise. Respectfully
Jno. T. Freeman, Bookkeeper for Texas Oil Co.
To the young men and ladies of Snyder, Tex.
This is eminentlly a pratical and direct busi-
ness age every thing is working on wheels
forced by electricity. Yoa can’t afford to put
in six months any longer at a heavy cost to
learn a profession, you can get in six weeks.
Time is valuable and the dav for “red tape”
must go and get down to business at once. I
will guarantee to teach a perfect system of
Bookkeeping in two months equal to the six
month’s course you got in the Theoretical col-
leges and Rod Tape Institutions. Call on me
at Maxwell Hotel and let me show you.
Yours truly.
A. S. Henry
We are glad to recomend Mr. A. S. Henry

Last Wednesday Texas Gul
ports and a good portion of the
coast country was visited by a
hurricane. Tim hurricane form-
ed in tlie Carribean Sea and
gained force until it struck tho
Texas coast*
At Galveston the city was
saved from a repetition of the
destruction wrought in 1'jOo by
the sea wall. Several bathing
houses and fishing piers outside1
of the *oa wall were destroyed, j
Five lives were lost and pro-J
l*‘rty damaged to the amount of
$175,000.
The wind blow 65 miles an
hour, and the waves would
strike the sea wall and send
spray hundreds of feat high, but
the structure withstood the
force of wind and wave, and
thus saved the city from great
three at Bay City, one at Beas-
ley, two at Eagle Lake, one at
El Campo. three at Hichcock,
six at Richmond, two at Velas-
co, one at Wharton, two at Mud
I'ass. Total loss of lives lost
On Texas coast 28, injured <J7.
Total amount of property de-
stroyed and damaged,$1,819,000.
The storm was followed by
heavy rains in many sections of
the state, and cool cloudy
weather in other portions. It
seems to have nut an end to the
hot waves we have been having
for the past few weeks.
Tho following notification lias
been received by the local com-
mittee in charge of the normal
campaign in Snyder.
Notice to places seeking the
location of the West Texas
State Normal. To the Local
Committee in charge:
The committee to locate the
West Texas Normal College will
meet in Fort Worth on August
9th, in the Worth Hotel, at 10 a.
in. At that time and place the
committee will receive sealed
bids and briefs setting forth tho
claims of each town desiring tho
location of tho college. Oral
arguments will be heard in sup-
plementation of tho briefs and
bids under some limitation as to
time, which will be announced
at the meeting. After hearing
what the representatives of the
towns wish to say, the com
mittee may proceed to eliminate
such towns as do not appear to
be the most desirable and thus
reduce the number of appli-
cants. From Fort Worth the
committee will proceed to visit
the few places 'that seem most
desirable as locations and will
complete its labors and make its
report. Tho following para-
graph from the law establishing
the school will indicate the point
that the committee w ill notice in
considering of the competing
places:
‘‘In considering the claim of
each place that may ask for the
said school the committee shall
consider the healthfulness, ac-
cessibility, and the general in-
telligence and social conditions
of th 3 people. The committee
shall also consider the bonus or
donation offered, whether in
land, money houses or other
valuable consi derations, which
the respective places bidding
for the location of the said
school may offer, and shall take
into account all facts and cir-
cumstances of each place that
may bid, and shall locate the
said normal school where it will
most efficiently serve the state;
provided, that the committee
shall not srcrifice the perma-
nent advantage of any location
to the donations offered by any
other place.”
The Governor will serve on
the committee in person, but
will appoint some one to serve
in his place and the law pro-
vides. He will be represented
at the Fort Worth meeting by
his appointee.
Tho committee from each
place desiring the location of
tho normal, should reduce its
claims and propositions to con-
cise terras, avoiding long and
tedious presentations and im-
aginary advantages claimed for
the respective towns. The com-
mittee to locate tho college wil
grant each applicant a reason-
able length of time in which to
present real advantages*
