- Packard Motor Car Co. advertisement. Printed in black ink on white paper. The advertisement shows a drawing of two Packard automobiles driving on opposite sides of a street. The text of the advertisement reads as follows: "The heaviest production in twenty-three years of Packard history falls far short of meeting the steadily growing demand for the Single-Six. This is due, no doubt, in the first instance, to public confidence in the soundness of Packard engineering and manufacturing - greatly stimulated, however, by the record the Single-Six is establishing everywhere for really remarkable economy of operation." The opposite side of the page features an advertisement for the A. Wittnauer Company Longines watch. Hand written text in pencil reads "5/23."

- Two page handwritten letter from F.D. Prinniger from the U.S. Navy Wireless Station in Brooklyn, New York, which reads as follows: Operator Clark Wireless Telegraph Co., Buffalo N.Y. Dear Sir:- While on watch last night, Oct. 16th -17th, I was listening to Chicago (Go) and Milwaukee (Mk) working together and was fishing for Manitowoc Wis. (MW) whom I know to be working and I heard the following calls--"CB," "CN," "CU," & "CR." I also heard one which I took for "CS," but which sounded considerably like "St." He was working with "CB." All of these calls came in way clear and easily readable, without strain except for very heavy static. Should judge the wave length as somewhere about 1200 meters, though am not sure, for was using very loose coupling in order to cut out a number of nearby stations and ships. I would like very much to know if these were stations of your system. It is the first time I have happened to hear any of them. Here are parts of a couples messages I was able to copy through the heavy static:- No - CR - Pk = 10 Paid CR 10/16-09 (to) Miss Gladys Hudson #192 Addison Road "CN" Don't know whether this is part of same message or not "_____ every body suck ____ may for _____ love ans. sig. Sidney With only moderate static or with less interference so close at hand would have had no trouble in copying every word. Would be please to learned if such messages were sent by any of your stations and who "CR." is. Sorry we have only a 1 kW. set so could give you a call. Hoping to hear from you. I am Yours truly, F.D. Prinniger, Elict. U.S.N. U.S.N. Wireless Station, Brooklyn New York, NY Both pages are printed on United State Navy Yard, New York, N.Y. letterhead.
