The woman to whom I talked
answered in detail all the information I had asked for, clearly,
distinctly, concisely and to the exact point. She was a whiz.
A short time ago I found myself a trifle out of place in the
midst of an enthusiastic discussion of Art, art galleries,
beautiful paintings, elusive smiles, precious lights and shadows,
inconceivable imagination and some superlatives far, far beyond
my ken. Suffice to say, in my corn-fed Hoosier simplicity an
engraved Certificate for 100 shares of American Telephone and
Telegraph is about the prettiest picture I have seen.
Therefore, patiently anticipating a very modest October private
family showing of Art at its best, as I see it, I remain
Respectfully,
JUDGING BY THE DAMPNESS
September 16, 1952
The First National Bank of Chicago
Chicago, Illinois
Dear Sirs,
I am herewith enclosing 3 certificates of the Capital Stock of
Standard Oil Company (New Jersey) as follows . . . It is my
request that the above certificates be combined into one . . .
It may be I should have sent these certificates to the Transfer
Agent rather than you, but . . . I feel more at home with your
Bank, for, let it be known, I am still a part of Russellville
Bank in this County.
