19 curious photos about how offices looked in the early twentieth century

All offices look approximately the same: a computer desk, an armchair (and whoever is unlucky — a chair), office equipment, a pile of papers, folders with folders. Of course, this is not about corporations such as Facebook, where offices are a real oasis. We at TravelAsk decided to look into the past and see what a regular office looked like a hundred years ago. All these photos were taken at the beginning of the twentieth century, and it seems that little has changed over this century. Is that less paper and instead of a typewriter - a computer.
