Correspondence from the Parry Manufacturing Co.
​The next few images are copies of different types of letterhead used by the Parry Mfg. Co.
I find it interesting that not only did they make changes every few years, but the drawing of the plant changed as well, which shows that they were continually adding new buildings to the Indianapolis plant.
​
This is the earliest letterhead that I have, it is dated October 18, 1891
The next one that I have is this one dated March 8, 1897.
Next in changes that I have is this one dated June 18, 1906. It is the most grandiose taking up both the top, left side, and bottom.
The next after the above that I have is this one dated March 12, 1905.
And finally the most recent version that I have is this one. The earliest date for this version is February 5, 1910.
If anyone has letterheads that are different than the ones shown above, I would be glad to add them.
