Binding a tad rubbed and faintly edgeworn, but tight and internally near fine. Attractive first edition. Tipped to front flyleaf is the heavy stock 3¼" X 2" business card of E. Asbury Davis, this company's president and subject of Chapter IX ("E. Asbury Davis Becomes President 1932-1946"). In addition, tipped onto an inner flyleaf is a Typed Letter Signed from Charles P. Whitney, 1p, 8" X 6", Chicago, IL, 8 June 1922. Addressed to A.D. Sheridan. Near fine. On company letterhead, Whitney tells a client "we have added $2,000 fire insurance and $1,000 tornado insurance to your cabin at the Wausaukee Club." Boldly signed. Whitney was a principal of Critchell, Miller, Whitney & Barbour Insurance, an important Chicago insurance agency -- the relation between them and United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company is unclear, but an interesting addition nonetheless.
