That's about as Americana as you can get in that Pic. Would love to have that Framed for my shop.

A friend of mine is going through the University of Maine's collection of documents from Emerson & Stevens and there's a ton of boxes worth of documents from other Maine makers and even out-of-state manufacturers in with it as well. 80 boxes, or so he tells. He's sent a few cell phone photos along and boy did they ever know how to design letterhead back then!

Glad you enjoyed them.
