Check out this awesome stationary that I found at the Urban Farmgirl event in Rockford, Illinois this spring. This stationary was being sold by a local vendor who loves to collect old stationary. Just look at some of the detail on this stationary. There is information and pictures almost all the way around the stationary. The detail and colors are fantastic. This is a letter from 1934 in which the Condon Bros. Seedsmen are offering to sell 10,000 pounds of Timothy Seed to Yopp Seed Co. Imagine a business transaction done by letter and waiting for the US mail to deliver the answer. Don't you wonder how many letters it took for the two seed companies to come to an agreement on price and quantity? Also, think about the level of trust each of these seed companies would have to have in each other with regards to payment, delivery and quality of seed.
Just spend some time looking at the detail on this stationary and the information that they provide. I would be happy to do business with a company like this. I sometimes think we have really lost our way with emails and texts. Have you ever written a business letter on stationary like this or even handled a business transaction through regular mail with beautiful stationary?
