Chillicothe Business College began as a normal school in 1890 in Chillicothe, MO.  The founder, Allen Moore, changed the focus of the school in 1911, when enrollment began to fall.  By the mid 1930’s CBC, with an enrollment of more than 1,200 students, became the third largest college in Missouri and billed itself as the “largest business college in America.”  Its motto “We see you through,” CBC provided work study for students and guaranteed then a job after graduation or their tuition would be refunded.  Billboards advertising CBC (like that above) appeared all across the western United States. These always stated the number of miles to Chillicothe. In addition to the complete business course, CBC offered programs in general accounting, machine bookkeeping, stenography, and telegraphy.  During World War II CBC trained more than 2,500 clerk typists for the U.S. Air Force and continued to receive military contracts after the war.  The 1947 Dux shows an enrollment of almost 1,100.  However, by the 1950’s the demand for business training had declined, and the school closed in 1952.
