Description: Original type reads: "The Pounsford Stationery Company traces its ancestry back to the first stationery store in Cincinnati, which was founded by George Conklin in the year of 1829. The firm name was changed to Applegate & Company in 1841, to Applegate & Pounsford in 1860 and to A.H. Pounsford & Company in 1888. Later it was incorporated under the name of The Pounsford Stationery Company. Here is a facsimile of an envelope that contained an order from Carson City, Nevada, which came by Pony Express to St. Louis and by boat from St. Louis to Cincinnati in 1842. Note the pen cancellation of both the U.S. stamp and the Langton's Express stamp." View on Ohio Memory.
