and major investors: John A. Phillips, J. H. Harris, Ida Harris, Mrs. M. E. Phillips; their creditors, partners, and many

grant copies, land surveys, bonds, deeds, abstracts of titles, mortgages, court summons, petitions, settlements, judgements,
FiFa's, promissory notes, accounts, receipts, stock certificates, news clippings, business cards, a will and a broadside.
