BANK NOTE COMPANY DIRECTORY

  Regarding Dave Bower's desire for a "Dictionary of  Early
  American Bank Note Engravers and Printers", Wendell Wolka
  writes: "Enjoyed reading the E-Sylum #54 (as I always do) and
  noticed Dave Bowers' comments about a dictionary of early
  bank note companies and printers ... I seem to recall that
  Foster Wild Rice made such an effort when he published the
  "Antecedents of the American Bank Note Company" back
  in the 1950s (?).  Someplace in my library (we all have that
  problem, don't we!) I have a copy and it seems that he lists
  the years of operation of all of the different partnerships and
  name changes."

  [Great name: Foster Wild Rice.  Did he have an uncle
  named Ben?  -Editor]

  Joe Boling writes: "Is it possible that QDB does not know
  about Gene Hessler's "The Engraver's Line", a volume much
  like what he says he'd like to have?"
