This is a picture of Cortez W. Peters, Jr., as stated. However, the content about winning the World's Fastest Typer title in 1925 relates to his father (also a typist) Cortez W. Peters, Sr.
Thank you for your comment. That information has now been incorporated into the record.
The picture you have listed is not Cortez W. Peters, Sr. but Cortez W. Peters, Jr. You may ask, how do I know? I know because I am Cortez W. Peters, Sr.'s
daughter and Jr.'s sister.
