Gordon Selfridge,” one page, 5 x 8, Selfridge & Co. letterhead, December 3, 1914. Letter to a gentleman. In part: “If you could give me one or two more articles of 600 words each, which we could use for our column I would be willing to pay you a pound a piece for them…however, the matter must rest entirely with me as to whether the articles are desirable or not. They must possess originality and character which would make them readable and convincing.” In fine condition, with a mildly toned area at the center of the signature.
