Jones National School of Auctioneering Moves to Chicago

On September 21st, 1906, Col. Carey M. Jones, the well-known livestock auctioneer and president of the Jones National School of Auctioneering and Oratory, formerly located at Davenport, Iowa, has just moved his school to Chicago, Illinois, and will be located hereafter at 231 Ashland boulevard, Chicago. Col. Jones says that the superior advantages afforded by the city of Chicago both for the school and Its students has decided the removal. The term of the school hereafter will be Increased to six weeks, although the price for tuition remains the same, $100, which Includes nil books and necessary stationery. One of the principal advantages of the removal of the school to Chicago will be the auction sales which are held dally at the stock yards. Students being able to attend these sales will mean much to them while taking a course in auctioneering, as it will give them an education in the value of horses and cattle that will be of much benefit to them in their business. The Jones National School of Auctioneering has been quite successful ¦¦ In the location at Davenport, and we predict much greater usefulness for it in the new location. The next term of the school opens November 19th. Col. Jones will be pleased to send any of our readers Interested a prospectus of the school and full particulars concerning the same. He will be glad to hear from those who contemplate making auctioneering a life profession and answer any questions concerning the school that may be desired.
