This color poster advertises the National Business Show of 1906, a trade exhibition aimed at merchants, office managers, and the growing class of white-collar workers. Its record lists Chicago as the place of printing and the National Printing Co. as the publisher, though the catalog notes that these details come from an old caption card and have not been independently verified. Early twentieth-century business shows typically displayed typewriters, adding machines, filing systems, and bookkeeping and commercial training, so the poster offers a glimpse of how firms promoted modern office methods during that period.
