From the Vault: “The Manure Problem”
by Paula Bosse
See all those horses?

There’s a headline that’ll get attention. Check out the post “‘Male Fixings’ and Horse Manure — Akard Street, ca. 1906″ in which I wonder how cities used to deal with all the horse manure in the streets. (Augusts must have been especially unpleasant back then.)

Have you ever posted about Draughon’s Business College? I think I remember it still being in existence in the late 60s. Could that really be true?

Thanks for asking this question, because when I went back to check the dates, I realized the location and date of the photo was incorrect (I’ve corrected them in this post and the one it links to). Draughon’s Practical Business College opened its Dallas location in March, 1906, and it was in business here at least through the 1970s — possibly longer. Apparently it’s still in business in other states. I’ve added a bit more about Draughon’s at the original post linked above. Thanks again!
