This firm was the preeminent printer of CSA Treasury Notes and also had space in the printing schedule to print notes for southern states governments and even a small number of private financial companies. It also printed notes for its own use, presumably for the payment of expenses like wages for some employees and the purchase of commodities like paper and ink as well as other needed supplies. Always popular and an integral part of any Confederate collection.
