Item description from seller

8 1/2 x 5 1/8 inches. Black ink on off-white paper. Folded vertically. Minor additional creasing, several small stains, pencil note written in indicating the price of the machine is at the factory.

In an unusual arrangement, the Worcester company and the Cincinnati company agreed that they could each use the "J. A. Fay & Co." name. Eph Tainter proceeded to largely shut down his manufacturing operations and resell machines from other makers as J. A. Fay & Co. machines. This did not sit well with the Cincinnati owners of that name, and a lawsuit was filed.
