It is because of Hudson endur- ance and the ease with which inevitable wear is adjusted, that Super- Sixes, which are old in point of years and service, retain their new-like qual- ities.

THE BISMARCK BUSINESS COLLEGE is constantly in session summer and winter, and students may enter at any time, attend as they can—come and go—until ready for a good business or banking position.
