# 407 for 1 share to WS De Naw in 1885. Signed by secretary Richard Nixon (not that Richard Nixon) and president E. Richardson. Fancy vignette advertising this New Orleans Exposition. At a time when nearly one third of all cotton produced in the United States was handled in New Orleans and the city was home to the Cotton Exchange, the idea for the fair was first advanced by the Cotton Planters Association.

Heavy vertical and horizontal fold some light wrinkling.
