PA. 1930. Specimen. $1000, 10 year 6% Coupon Note, orange. Vignette of Benjamin Franklin in his printing office. Cyrus Curtis was a significant U.S. publisher. He was born in Portland, Maine and entered the publishing business there with a weekly newspaper. He founded the philadlephia based Curtis Publishing Company, which published the Ladies Home Journal and the Saturday Evening Post, which was known for the numerous covers by Norman Rockwell. He was doing business under the name of Curtis-Martin Newspaper, Inc. Curtis-Martin Newspapers and Cyrus Curtis purchased the Philadelphia Inquirier in 1930. This bond possibly helped finance that pruchase. Please see a related bond of "The Philadelphia Inquirer Company" also dated the same day. These were probably related transcations. Both of these together represent a unique find in Philadelphia publishing history. Rare bond. SBNC. VF.
