Back before computers and email were commonly used in business, most people had access to a secretary, either their own or as part of a "pool." If you wanted to send a letter or message to someone, you dictated it to a secretary who wrote it down in shorthand, then typed it on his/her typewriter. Business schools for secretarial skills typically trained their students in shorthand as well as typing skills.
