interesting business card for Thomas P. Jones & Co., “Private Detectives

City. Two of the references listed at the bottom give us a date between 
1861 and 1866- A. Oakley Hall was elected New York County D.A. in 
November 1861 and served until November 1868 when he was elected Mayor 
of New York; John A. Dix was appointed Major General of NY Volunteers at

Lindsley, Short-Hand Verbatim Reporter, office of Bryant, Stratton & 
Co.’s Boston Business College”. Bryant, Stratton & Co. operated business 
colleges in a number of U.S. cities at the time, the Boston branch does 
not seem to have been particularly long-lived. By the 1880s Lindsey had 
moved to New York and invented the ‘Takigraphy’ method of shorthand; he 
published several books on the technique from his office in New York 
City.  Card. 4”x2.5”. Minor soil, light wear.  {48109}  $40
