About This Item
In 1859 this young New York businessman founded the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, which by the time of his death was the largest insurance company in the world -- making him the greatest insurance mogel ever. Enormous and bold "H.B. Clyde / Prest." in brown ink on a heavy stock 4 3/4" X 2" slip, n.p., n.y. Very good. Small chip near center of top edge, affecting the top right of his gigantic "H." Clipped from a letter, for above his flamboyant signature is a tiny secretarial salutation "Very truly yours." Also present is a 4¼" X 2" slip from the printed letterhead, reading in italic typeface "The Equitable Life Assura / 120 Broadway, New Yor." Very uncommon signature.
