I did find a Jamestown exposition coin 1907 and on the back side it says awarded to the patato machinery company I would have to dig it out but it was cool also.!!!

Cool paper.
I have the tax returns for a dairy farmer dated from the 1902-4 era. Cool thing about it I found them in the back of a safe behind the wooden shelves & drawers. The returns are the size of a daily news paper in size, and if I remember right the earning were in around the 4K mark. The farmer owned a 1/4 section (250 acres) on the Eastside of the Don River Valley in Toronto. Still to this day one can buy milk with the family name on the cartons. I'd post up but everything is in storage till the completion of the renovations.

4000 dollars was significant in those times think of all the shotguns he could buy
