Six disconnected papers found in the same envelope: A. Emma Gordon’s confirmation slip of having paid 300 dollars for a subscription to the Daily Jefferson from July 23, 1902 to August 23, 1902. B. Blank deposit slip for the First National Bank of Shelbyville. Dated 193x. Slip includes lines for bank notes, gold, silver, and checks. C. Flexo Carb razor hone, with instruction sheet wrapped around it. From Richmond, Indiana. Three hones were 50 cents and would be sent by postage. Ray Cummings is listed on the instructions. D. Note from The Law Floral Co. on 40 East Washington St. Order was labelled for Mrs. Dr. O. V. Adams for 12 (one doz) roses for Miss Blanchard. Note dated October 1, 1901. E. Partially filled-out ticket admitting Dr. O. L. Adam’s to a hospital’s operating rooms from December 12, 1907 to January 12, 1907. Ticket issued by surgeon Edgar S. Thomson. F. Photo of Howdy Bell. On the back is an advertisement for his radio show, “The Howdy Bell Program,” hosted Monday-Friday 11:35A.M.-3:00P.M. A special portion of the show, “Let’s Talk With Howdy,” took place Monday-Friday 1:15P.M.-2:00P.M. On WFBM radio 1260.Context
B. Indiana is given the abbreviation IND. Two-letters state postage abbreviations were standardized in 1963. Before 1963, “Ind.” was Indiana’s abbreviation. C. A razor hone would put the finishing edge on a razor blade. Other honing devices seemed to be much thicker than this one, so the thinness was possibly the main selling point (and why it’s called Flexo Carb). F. Howdy Bell (born July 24, 1939) is a pioneer of Indiana Broadcasting.Collection
