Shaw was chairman of the Board of Directors of the National School of Heavy Equipment, Inc He drew a substantial weekly salary, held 100 percent of the voting stock and 51 percent of the Class B stock of the school and employed most of his family in the operation of the school. Shaw contracted on behalf of the school with Stuart Studio to produce 25,000 catalogs for the school. The
catalogs were being printed in an effort to attract new students through an advertising campaign, as the school was bordering on financial ruin. Gilbert orally assured Stuart Studio that if the National School could not pay the full total that he "would stand good" for the entire bill.
