Wilson’s Modern Business College At Work

Last October I posted this 1919 ad for Wilson’s Modern Business College. Just found these two candid Wilson’s shots of students hard at work during shorthand and typing classes during 1901. It looks like the photos were taken inside the same classroom. Click on the images for more resolution.

    Not seen in the shorthand class is the table saw where industrious men actually make the classmates’ hands shorter. Also nearby - the infirmary.
