Autographed St. Louis Financial History � Joseph Pulitzer-Signed Promissory Note for $4,500, September 18, 1872. Good. This interesting document is apparently a deferred payment for $4,500 on the purchase of German language newspaper Wesliche Poste in St. Louis. Pulitzer founded the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, which merged some local newspapers. On white bond paper, 21 cm x 10 cm. Although a personal promissory note, on a stock form. It has the proper revenue stamps, and the signature of Pulitzer is pen-cancelled. Splits and tape repairs are seen from the verso, but it faces up brighty. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20509, realized $72. |
