In the 1930's and '40's, a company in our town of Stevens Point, Wisconsin provided a service of financing the property insurance premiums of small town auto and implement dealerships. This premium finance company paid the annual premium for the dealer in the form of a loan. Then, the dealer repaid this loan in monthly payments to the premium finance company.

I have a number of mailing envelopes that these little dealerships used to mail their payments in with. These have very interesting, late 1930's-eary 1940's auto and farm machinery logos on them, and make nice display items.

Here's one from Haskell Implement Co., a McCormick-Deering IHC dealer in Haskell, Texas. Nice vintage logo on the envelope. 1941 postmark and 3 cent stamp.

The price is $15, INCLUDING shipping in the U.S.
