About the author

Rose Buhlig was an American educator and author born in 1883. The clearest sources available identify her through library and public-domain book records, which credit her with Business English: A Practice Book and list her as being associated with Tilden High School in Chicago.

Her writing focused on teaching clear, effective English rather than ornamented style. In Business English: A Practice Book, first published in 1914 and later revised, she presents business communication as a practical skill that depends on good grammar, thoughtful word choice, and strong spoken as well as written expression.

Very little biographical detail about her life appears to be widely documented online, but her work has remained accessible through library catalogs and public-domain editions. That lasting availability suggests she filled a real need for students and teachers looking for straightforward instruction in useful, everyday English.
