Biographical Note

The Fayetteville Business College was founded in 1905 by Franz Newcombe. It was purchased by H. O. Davis in 1919 and later operated by his son Frank W. Davis as manager and sometimes president. Between 1919 and 1972, when it closed, more than fifteen thousand persons trained for positions for the business world. It occupied a brick building at 309 W. Dickson Street from 1937 until 1972.
