Mexico: 1884.
Disbound. Very Good Condition. Item #CAT000931
Long letter on company stationary about damage to a food shipment to Mexico. The letter disclaims responsibility for the damage, claiming it was the shipping company. The Thurber, Whyland building pictured on the stationary, built in 1874, is still there on the corner of W. Broadway, Reade & Hudson. From there they ran a sprawling grocery business described in 1885 as "The firm's price list is a veritable category of everything under the sun that is edible and appreciated by civilized palates". But they went bankrupt in 1893 and were recorganized as the American Grocery Company. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo.
