Picked this up recently....not sure exactly what to make of it other than the obvious....and cut and pasted from the auction description:

The invoice is official George Burke letterhead. It has been marked 'OK' (to be paid) in the Tigers front office on the authority of WALTER O. BRIGGS, JR. ('WOB JR' in pencil on the invoice) who was a Tigers executive and son of Walter Senior, owner of the club. Mr. Briggs was just about to change the name of Navin Field to BRIGGS STADIUM, so this invoice may very well be one of the last things addressed to the Tigers organization at NAVIN FIELD.
