Collection History
- Archival Appraisal Information:
Some routine material such as quarterly dividend statements was discarded, but substantive matter dealing with client image was saved. Items dealing with an individual wedding or death were also discarded, since they did not represent the majority of the public relations work done by the firm.
No information about appraisal is available for this collection.
