The , Metropolitan Business
College, of Dallas, is generally rec-
ognized as the foremost busines
college in Texas, and the equal of
the best in the United States.
This reputable and reliable school
was established twenty-one years
ago, and is conducted by business
men on sound business princi-
ples. Quite a number of students
from Bonham have attended the
Metropolitan, and without an
exception they were well pleased
with the merits and advantages
of the institution. If any of the
readers of The News contemp-
late attending a business college
it would be well to write the
Metropolitan for a catalogue.
