Wonderful December 26, 1896 Reinecke Coal Co. illustrated letterhead from Madisonville, Kentucky. The company identifies itself as sole miners & shippers of EUREKA COAL, with a stated daily mine capacity of 1,000 tons.
The elaborate lithographed/printed heading is especially desirable, featuring two portrait vignettes, identified as C. Reinecke, Pres. and L. Bailey, Sec’y & Gen. Mgr. The design includes bold red EUREKA COAL lettering along with advertising statements “Coal Cleaned by Vibrating Screens” and “Satisfaction Guaranteed.” Branch offices are listed in Nashville, Tennessee and St. Louis, Missouri.
The handwritten business letter appears to concern arranging a coal supply for the coming year, making this an excellent piece of late-19th-century Kentucky coal-mining and industrial history. Signed for Reinecke Coal Co.
