The federal government granted the Plimpton Manufacturing Company about one more week to comply with its contract to supply stamped envelopes to the post office department.
The post office department anticipated that, by the end of this extension, it will have completely exhausted its remaining stock.
The dateline for the article was October 11, and other items in the column were reported as happening "to-day,” but no specific date for when the extension was granted was mentioned.
This report came from a column titled “Washington,” and the subhead was “General Intelligence.”
Linus Plimpton returned to Hartford from Washington yesterday, having secured approval for the new dies to produce stamped envelopes.
The column referred to the Plimpton Manufacturing Company as “Plympton.”
Tomorrow, the board of directors of Plimpton Manufacturing Company will vote to increase the company’s capital stock.
Unattributed. “Washington,” Hartford Daily Courant, October 12, 1874, page 3.
