Nostalgia & History > Vintage Railroad Agents SlipsDate: 07/24/05 10:27 Vintage Railroad Agents Slips Author: RebStout These The Florence and Cripple Creek Railroad Agents Remittance Slips are extremely rare. I have three in my collection, all in decent condition, and all three are from different stations on the railroad route.

End of Vintage Railroad Agent Slip Set. Enjoy! Reb Stout Anaheim, California  Date: 07/24/05 15:25 Re: Vintage Railroad Agents Slips Author: fireplug Not really a mis-spelling. Most RR's used "EMPLOYES" as the plural form of employee in those days; and up through the 1950's.
Date: 07/24/05 16:07 Re: Vintage Railroad Agents Slips Author: RebStout Hi Fireplug...
I believe you are correct on the railroads spelling "employee" with only one "e". I saw the one "e" spelling again this morning while going through "Rio Grande - Mainline of the Rockies - Vol. 1". Wierd that as many railroad books I've read that I never noticed that before... Reb |
