Mankato, Minn.

Dear Mr. Brandrup:

It is about two years since I completed the course in your splendid school, and I have had time to reflect, I have found the training you gave me a wonderful help and can conscientiously recommend the Mankato Commercial College to anyone who is ambitious and who wants to get on in this world.

I have been employed as bookkeeper by the National Back of Commerce in this city ever since I left your school and I think my services have been satisfactory to the officers.

Wishing you continued success, I remain,

Yours truly,

W. F. PLUEDMAN
