I've read the book, quite a while ago - well more than half of it - but I know where to find any subject in it and if I want to see a special card I can where as I may never without the book. You guys have done more than 99+ % of hobbyists or most anyone or group for the good of the hobby. Thorough in detail. My questions are not critical, they are the type of questions I've tried the find on defunct companies for my own interests and have failed. Thought you may have found the right door. But if information that one is looking for was never published - there is no door.

Yes, Charles and brother William predated Bonsack with inventions. However you show the Bonsack machine in the book but the Emery was the Goodwin Company workhorse apparently. Through all the legal fighting with infringement cases in the 1880s Bonsack came out first as most reliable and carried through into the ATC years.

Joe - hope you get what you are looking for on the Creole tax stamp.
