"of the Today Show" You could say that Barbara Walters who has interviewed practically everyone of any notoriety in the past 40 years literally wrote the book. (and this is it)
1970 Doubleday and Co. Book Club Edition - has Dust Jacket
good to very good condition
5 3/4" X 8 1/2"
173 pages
"Westerly Business College & School of Shorthand and Typewriting"
pamphlet. Wells Building Broad Street George LaMunyon Principal
There's an attribution on the cover to Ames & Rollinson Co. NY - presumably
the publisher. I could not find a date. It's probably from the early 1900s.
The glassine cover page is still on it, though it's obviously in rough
condition. But it's been there all this time, I'm not going to be the
one to remove it. And yes, that is a mouse chew in the lower left of the
book. Many of the pages are dog-eared. At one time the book had been folded
in half. I can imagine the eager young enrollee with this booklet in folded
in his back pocket imagining his or her future career. The typewriter
on the front cover is a Remington. Photos include the College Building
- the third of floor of a commercial brick building with at least 3 store
fronts, no readable signs, but one's a barber shop, and there's a bicycle
parked out front. The literature indicates it's their 8th year affiliated
with Westerly Business College. Also inside is a photo of George Lamunyon,
B.S., M. Accts., Principal, a photo of the study room and a group of students,
the typerwriting room, tlegraph room.
24 pages. 6" x 8 3/4"
But
the highlight of the pamphlet is the back cover is this wonderful 'calligraphy'
illustration of a bird.
Below the bird the text offers employers "free of charge" -
competent office help. It's not clear to me if they are offering students
free of charge or just the match making service free, but in either case,
I suspect its too late to take them up on the offer.
