R. Hoe & Company

http://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w69g9fm9 (corporateBody)

R. Hoe & Co. was the largest manufacturer of printing presses and press equipment in the United States during the 19th century. Its archives were dispersed in the 1970s, and later still, the letter books from which this collection derives were disassembled. California and Virginia letters (and perhaps some others) were sold separately, and are not included here. From the description of R. Hoe & Company records, 1858-1878. (Newberry Library).
