Letter - Levy Bros & Co., New York, NY, April 27, 1883

This letter, dated April 27, 1883, is written by Sol Poznanski on the ornate letterhead of Levy Bros. & Co., Manufacturers of Clothing, located at 472 Broadway and 30, 32, 34, & 36 Crosby St., New York. It is addressed to E. W. Knight in Helena, Montana. Poznanski informs Knight that he has drawn a draft for $100 and will arrive in Helena in about six days. He will be representing Levy Bros. & Co. and three other large New York houses, and also acting as a buyer of hides and furs for a Gloversville factory. Poznanski requests that Knight hold the draft if it is not satisfactory until he arrives and states his intention to start a wholesale commission house in Helena upon his arrival. The letterhead features elaborate, Victorian-style script for the business name and description, with a clear address and P.O. Box number. 3.
