Many were therefore jumping at the idea to start selling shorthand courses by mail, a business idea considered today the foundation stone of distance learning.
Similarly, Richard W. Sears was founded the prestigious chain store Sears, Roebuck and Company, but before becoming a successful businessman, Sears came up with a home business idea.
