This original typed letter dated September 30th, 1924, is from the Frick and Lindsay Company, a supplier for manufacturers, mines, contractors, and oil and gas wells based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Addressed to the Mount Airie Coal Mining Company in Syracuse, New York, the letter discusses shipping and prepaid freight charges related to an order, providing a glimpse into early 20th-century industrial business communications. The letterhead features the company's logo and highlights its Pittsburgh branch affiliation with John A. Roebling's Sons Co., known for wire and wire rope, adding historical context to the industrial supply chain of the 1920s. This piece of ephemera measures approximately 8.5 x 11 inches and exhibits typical aging signs such as folds, slight discoloration, and minor edge wear, enhancing its authenticity and collectible appeal.
