1902 Letterheads of Three Seed Companies

The end of the 19th century and the early 20th had wonderful letterheads if you enjoy detail!  Pride in their buildings and history is what they want to convey visually. How different from our icon focused business identities now...a swoosh, a squiggle or artfully arranged letters in a distinctive type face.


Look at that barn below!  Octagonal? 
And the train!  
The wagon loaded with seed bags at the store with the impatient horses is a nice touch, too.
What a great historical document.





Above, did you notice they got all seven awards at the Chicago Worlds Fair (The Columbian Exposition) for pure Clover and Timothy?
