Scope and Contents

This collection includes birth, wedding, and graduation announcements, blank checks from the 1800's, an invitation to the Centennial Celebration of the Inauguration of George Washington, and greeting cards. The greeting cards include A.M. Davis Quality Cards, which have an art and craft look dominated by Gothic text in distinctive typefaces and deocrative borders, as well as some from P.F. Volland & Co., the company which grew into mass producing books and calanders, eventually publishing Johnny Gruelle's wildly popular Raggedy Ann Stories.
