This sheet is part of a large collection of billheads, letterheads and covers that just came to market with a connection to Mr. Wear and the products he purchased to offer for sale to his customers. Some of the billheads and letterheads are addressed to Mr. Wear in Sulphur Mines, a town nearby Mineral.
