Happy Thursday everyone. This week I am sharing another stationery invoice from Reynolds & Reynolds from 1904. I am so smitten with these great specimens of history. This one does not contain beautiful handwriting but I find the old typewriter font to be charming in and of itself. This is clearly from a more gentile era harkening back to the days before form letters. The writer of this message is so polite and personal. Who would bother to write a note like this for a 9 1/2 cent credit today? I love it!
Hi, my name is Maggie. I have worked in the legal field for 27 years, but my real passion is finding treasures and restoring or repurposing them. I love everything French. I have been a dealer in different antique malls for the past 12 years and for the past six years have been a dealer at Aubergine Emporium in Simi Valley, California. I am also a vendor at The Little French Flea Market in Tarzana, California. I absolutely love the hunt.

What a wonderful old invoice. It makes me wonder how much it was worth back then. I must have cost at least a penny or two to send it. xo Diana

I love this and I love the way they write, isn't it interesting how the English language has changed?!
