Poster size is 14” x 20", thin card stock, printed on one side with thin metal rods affixed across the top and bottom poster (as issued). Condition is good only with creasing, soiling, poster detached from the top metal rod along the left side for about 5”, some short tears along the side, soiling and a few tape repairs to the back. Although not in the best condition, this is a nice example of a scarce early promotional poster.

Poster size is 14” x 20", thin card stock.

The poster features Hortense Stollnitz, born in 1897 she took up typing in 1914 to prepare for a journalism course at Columbia. By 1917 she was acclaimed as one of the fastest and accurate typists in America. In a 1917 contest she typed 159 words per minute for over one hour on a Remington 10 model typewriter. Shortly after she began working for Remington traveling the U.S. giving demonstrations, a lot of times in schools, probably where this poster originated.

Very scarce.
