New York, 1903. 33 Shares I/U Capital Stock Certificate, S/N 231, Black text with green border and underprint, Screaming Eagle at top center. VF condition, ABNC. After Mergenthaler had revolutionized letterpress printing with his Linotype typesetting machine in 1886, Alexander Dow presented a typesetting machine he had improved at the Pan American Exposition in Buffalo, New York in 1901, for which he later received three patents. He inherited his engineering genius from his Boston-based father, Lorenzo Dow, who had already constructed his first typing machine in 1885 (before Mergenthaler!). In 1902, Alexander Dow started his own company, which successfully built and sold Dow jigs until it went into liquidation in 1926.
