1896 Stock Certificate: Excelsior Enterprise/Reading Railroad- JOHN LOWBER WELSH

Description: This stock reads, 'The National Company, Incorporated as the Excelsior Enterprise Company.' Excelsior was incorporated in 1871, changed its name to National in 1873, and finally changed it's name to Reading Company (the Railroad) on December 7th, 1896. This certificate was issued on December 23, 1896, so the company was already 'Reading' but using old certificates. Shown is an excerpt from an 1897 issue of 'The Railway News' discussing this (not included). It is certificate number 13 and is issued to John Lowber Welsh, the Philadelphia financier, promoter and railroad organizer. It is signed by Welsh on the reverse.
