According to Clay Record Vol. 1 (1892), "all the most approved methods and the finest machinery have been introduced, and with an inexhaustible supply of material there is no limit to the possibilities of the concern." Signed by John C. Hummel (president) and John C. Hodges, Jr. (secretary). 10 coupons still attached to each. 16.5" x 11" with coupons. Folds and bent/rolled corners.
