The card serves as a piece of industrial history, sent from the Pepperell Manufacturing Co. in offerdeford, Maine, to the Litchfield Shuttle Co. in Southbridge, Massachusetts. The typewritten message on the reverse is an inquiry regarding textile machinery, specifically asking for a shuttle capable of carrying a Draper 3-ring bobbin in a common loom. It is signed by E. L. Morrill, an agent for Pepperell Manufacturing.The front of the card displays a crisp offerdeford, Maine postmark dated October 10, 1913, accompanied by a classic wavy American flag cancellation. The card features two punch holes at the top, likely from a vintage filing system used by the recipient company to organize their business correspondence. This item is a wonderful example of early 20th-century business-to-business communication within the New England textile industry, making it a valuable addition for collectors of postal stationery, Maine history, or industrial ephemera.
