After having this stock certificate in my "stuff" for 20+ years, I recently gave it a new lookover while listing it on eBay.

Note that the certificate is issued to Geo. Bresich; it is also pencil-endorsed by him on the back.

I wonder if this is the Breisch from E107 hobby fame? Is the Geo. Williams who signed on front as secretary the guy from Breisch-Williams and Williams Caramel Co.? Bresich was also once in the candy business with Walter Hiune, who signed this certificate as treasurer.

but, rather a complaint notice. About the cigarettes. If your Cap Anson card is off-center or miscut - too bad.

More than likely it is the same George Breisch.

The Breisch of Breisch-Williams was George Breisch. He is listed as a Confectioner as early as 1890 in Philadelphia. His father Frederick Breisch, from Germany, was also a candy maker, and his brother, Frederick, was also involved as either a partner or employee of the company. Later their company would be merged with the American Caramel Co.
