three of the four relate to M.I. and L.M. Jacobs & Co., Tucson, and two to David Neahr, Fort Yuma, CA. The earliest is a three-page freight bill, with weights from 18 Nov. 1871, for items such as peaches, candy, pears, drugs, "extracts," books, paints, porter, ale, hardware and general merchandise to M.I. Jacobs in Tucson, carried by David Neahr, total 143 packages at 12,177 pounds. The second is a cover letter from Neahr that went with a billing statement to what had by then become L.M. Jacobs (when the father retired, the sons changed the Tucson company name), 5 Aug. 1877. Third is a handwritten order to L.M. Jacobs for a few personal items ("2 suits Red Flannel underclothes"), 2 Nov. 1882. Last is a typed copy notice from the Department of the Interior, Indian Service, requesting sealed bids for shipping contract to Whiteriver, AZ for the 1905-06 fiscal year. M.I. Jacobs had a store in San Bernadino, CA. His sons moved to Tucson in 1871 and opened another store. When their father retired two years later, they changed the name to L.M. Jacobs & Co. In later years the Jacobs brothers organized the Pima County Bank, Tucson's first bank. Provenance: The Thomas Minckler Collection of Western Americana Condition: Folds as expected. Very minor toning.
