Denver/Leavenworth,CO - Feby 12, 1861 - Clark, Gruber & Co. Document :
This document was issued from Clark Gruber's Leavenworth Bank. They held a note issued by R. Bradford & Co. for which they were unable to collect funds. This document is a protest note in an attempt to collect a debt and was officially recorded at the courthouse. It is one of the few printed documents from Clark Gruber & Co. during their initial coining period, and should make little difference to the collector whether issued at Leavenworth, KS or Denver. The firm of Clark & Gruber opened July 20, 1860, after obtaining coin presses and dies in Boston. That year they issued $10 and $20 gold coins.
