Whittle & Sydnor Co. Grocers Teas Richmond, VA Letterhead o Geo. E. Wear 1898

George E. Wear (1847-1908) was a retail merchant located in Mineral, VA - which up until 2010, never held a population greater than 500, and was the center of gold mining activity in Louisa County. At one point, there were as many as 15 gold mines operating within a 2 mile radius of this town. 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.
