Abstract

Finding aid only for Manuscripts Collection 294. Two letter press books containing outgoing letters from the firm, E.A. Porter & Bros. of Bowling Green, Kentucky. These letters deal almost exclusively with the manufacture and marketing of a piece of agricultural equipment called the "Corn Cob Crusher." A small amount of correspondence also documents Mr. Porter's personal agricultural pursuits.
