Ephemera · 1 page
A one-page broadside dated April 1841 in which J. A. Montgomery advertises a wool carding business starting up in Upper Alton, Illinois. He offers to process wool into rolls on machines clothed with Eastern cards, guarantees his work, and states preparation requirements: the wool must be washed and picked clean, with one pound of grease for every seven pounds of wool. It was printed at the Telegraph office in Alton.
