- Unusual
1913 ad cover from Grafton MA, showing J. Frank Donahue, a dealer in
cattle, horses, carriages and harness. Rather than his goods, Mr.
Donahue elected to show "himself". Addressed to the John Deere
Co. at
Syracuse; also unusual is the Grafton Cummins machine cancel; seldom
seen on interesting advertising covers.
