Lovely large engraved vignette of a steam locomotive and steamship. Printed by Franklin Lee Bank Note Co. Issued to and signed as president of the company by John Leary. John Leary (1837 – 1905). Pioneer Seattle Business leader and politician. He settled in Seattle in 1869 and quickly became involved in “virtually every major civic and commercial undertaking in Seattle in the 1870s and 1880s…When he died, on February 9, 1905, Leary left an estate valued at about $2 million.” (http://www.historylink.org). Leary’s signature is slightly touched by the punch cancellation. Extremely Fine.
