A broadside with editorials from two newspapers...
Item # 695773
January 18, 1892
A very unusual broadside, headed: "EDITORIAL COMMENTS ON THE BOURSE", having two columns, one the comments of the Public Ledge newspaper, and the other the comments of The Evening Telegraph, both dated January 18, 1892, and both Philadelphia newspapers. Both editorials were very supportive of the Bourse.
The Philadelphia Bourse was a commodities exchange founded in 1891 by George E. Bartol, a grain and commodities exporter, who modeled it after the Bourse in Hamburg, Germany. The Bourse motto was "Buy, Sell, Ship via Philadelphia." The Bourse stopped functioning as a commodities exchange in the 1960s.
It is very unusual for a broadside to have reports from two different newspapers.
Complete as a single sheet, blank on the reverse, 6 by 16 3/4 inches, great condition.
