Merchants' Despatch Fast Freight Line. B. O'Grady, Agent, Detroit Mich.
c. 1865. Broadside. Very Good binding. Item #8787
Business card. 4" x 2.5." Light wear and evidence of pencil erasures on both sides. A card offered by O'Grady with place on the back for quotes rates for freight. It looks as if the pencil erasures were a mixture of random strays but perhaps some actual quoted rates. The markings are in some instances decipherable. Uncommon piece of ephemera from a freight company that operated in the upper Midwest into New York with a significant presence in Rochester NY by the turn of the century. Through consolidation and changes, the company was in existence throughout the 20th century.
