Today’s Seattle Vintage Ads come from an unknown 1919 Seattle area High School yearbook and the theme revolves around keg stands, ravers, and co-eds. Well, sort of. Business Colleges, my friends! The first is from Hall Business College on Third and Columbia urging readers to “start right!” and learn shorthand from the “world’s foremost exponent of
Gregg Shorthand.” The second ad shows Wilson’s Modern Business College located at 2nd and Stewart, who were convinced of their superiority. Check out
this 1910 photo from MOHAI showing a group of students learning shorthand. Let’s have a look at the images, click on them for a high-res version.

Wow! I can sure tell the difference between night school and day school in that first ad. LOL!
Does anyone still teach shorthand?
