Choice, rare! Named for Teddy Roosevelt's, "Speak Softly and Carry a Big Stick." Number 443 for 200 shares to Frederick E Hoyt Sr. Signed by H Leon Haynes and JB Girard. Vignette of a big stick. Choice with no apparent condition issues! JB Girard is listed in Arizona's "Who's Who." He started as Deputy Mineral Surveyor.
