Miscellaneous Fiscal Paper

Stock Installment Reciept (Washington Printed)

This uncut sheet of 90 day loan notes from the Bank of Fayetteville circa 1850s is interesting for a number of reasons. The sheet was printed at the Carolinian office in Fayetteville. The Carolinian was the local weekly newspaper. The sheet is also like one of those “Can you find the differences” puzzles one finds in the Sunday paper where you are challenged to spot the changes between two seemingly identical pictures. Did you notice the different cartouches for filling in the loan amount? Did you notice the different font used for Ninety Days? If these two notes had been both used and found separately we may well have assumed they were from separate printings but this surviving uncut sheet tells us true story!
