Description: Clarence H. Wickham and his wife Edith Farwell McGrath Wickham owned these books. Clarence was a prominent industrialist who made innovations in envelope production: "After the war, he took a position at the Plimpton Manufacturing Company in Hartford, where he developed an admirable reputation and fortune due to his many inventions that allowed the production of a machine which made stamped envelopes so cheaply that they were able to keep federal government contracts from 1874 to 1907. For thirty-three years all the stamped envelopes used by the United States government were made by the Wickham machines."
