Description

This original business letter from the Maxwell Coal Mining Company, dated January 31, 1917, offers a fascinating glimpse into early 20th-century American industrial commerce. The letterhead prominently features the company's specialization in anthracite and bituminous coal, with the Philadelphia headquarters address at 415-16 Heed Building. Addressed to the Wm. E. Marks Coal Company of Worcester, Massachusetts, the letter discusses a contract cancellation and confirms account closure, illustrating typical business correspondence of the era. The document is typewritten on aged, off-white paper with some foxing and creases visible, consistent with its 100+ year age. The letter is signed by the company manager, adding authenticity and collectible appeal. This piece is an excellent artifact for collectors of industrial ephemera, coal mining history, or Philadelphia business memorabilia from the 1900-1920 period. Its clear typography, corporate branding, and historical context make it a valuable addition to any ephemera or historical document collection.
