Ike - Here are scans of the front and back of the pass I mentioned. I realize that it is from 1894, long after the R&D assumed control of the GP, but I have read, can't remember where, that the

Thanks, Rick, for the memory jog. Here is the excerpt from the October 1915 Southern News Bulletin announcing the official adoption of the SR monogram as the company trademark. No mention is made of

Bob: Thanks! Maybe you could scan or take a photo of the Georgia Pacific “logo”. I’ve attached the only GP letterhead scanned to date. Obviously, it is from the R&D receivership era. The second

Ike - I have read that the arrow-through-initials herald (monogram/medallion) originated, not with the R&D, but with the Georgia Pacific Railway. I can't definitely cite the source of the

All: Here is an interesting series of emails about the Southern’s “Arrow” monogram (I have never seen the word “logo” in company documentation.) Can anyone provide any additional

Ike, That's good news on the bindings. I agree on the idea of getting the stuff to people who understand and know it while they are alive! Good priorities. I truly wished I lived closer to help! I

Jason: Sorry no again! There is a “hole” in the scaned files from 245 to 268. That may be a book we do not have or have not worked on yet. The second set of bound contracts may have books that

Jason: Good to hear from you… Sorry, I don’t see “361” in the scanned files. It may be simply because we have not got to it yet. What is it about? I know you are interested in the BIrmingham
