In 1898 they began making and selling office equipment under the name Yawman & Erbe Manufacturing Co. At first they made microscopes, but they soon began manufacturing specialty equipment for other companies.

Co., Rochester, N.Y.” The drawer pulls have a logo with “Y and E” on them. There is a brass plate on top that says “Yawman & Erbe Mfg. There are 15 small drawers over six larger drawers with brass plates for labels and a horizontal glass door on top.

*** Q: We have a wooden filing cabinet that has a flat work surface with two cupboard doors below and drawers above. A note signed by autopen is a nice family souvenir. If the note with the franked envelope had Eisenhower’s real signature, it could be worth more than $400. After Ike left Washington, D.C., he retired to a farm in Gettysburg. If you have two signatures exactly alike, they were no doubt signed by autopen. A: President Eisenhower sometimes used an autopen to sign his name before, during and after his presidency (1953-1961).

I have one of the franked envelopes the greeting was mailed in, too. *** Q: I have two birthday greeting notes mailed to my father-in-law by President Dwight Eisenhower.
