UNION COMMERCE BANK

The phone number "Main 5388" indicates an early date. https://www.ebay.com/itm/American-Type-Founders-1923-Specimen-Book-and-Catalogue-  Typographic-Art-/382651550537

 Cleveland Carpet Co. At this time no references can be found; one of the innumerable carpet stores that have graced our streets over the years. Gray Drug had disappeared by 1987, giving a latest date that this stick could have been issued. Great wear and tear on this well used stick.   (Still working out issues with the videos)
