From 1886 comes this historical postcard detailing mileage credit for the Menasha Chair Company on behalf of the Milwaukee and Northern Railroad. The Milwaukee and Northern was the predecessor of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific, also known as The Milwaukee Road. The chair company was later subsumed by the Menasha Wooden Ware.
Very interesting artifact. I had to go Google the football shaped cancellation.
