In 1910, Miss Tarr won a typing contest having 99.4% accuracy.
1912 shorthand contest she was awarded a speed certificate, writing 205 wpm on court material and 181 wpm on straight material.
She won fame as a writer and typist when no other stenographer was available in the evening and she wrote in shorthand and typed up (quickly and accurately) Governor Wilson's speech.

This selection of magazines were mostly penmanship (before typewriters were all the rage and some still wanted handwriting for correspondence, etc.,). But there were some business magazines that included shorthand. This one had an add for Gregg with Miss Tarr as the profile on it.  |
