Morris, New York

Before the days of the inexpensive ballpoint pen people used pens with ink that had to flow easily.
The ink didn't always dry quickly so to prevent smearing people would "blot" the ink.
Some banks gave out free ink blotters just for this purpose. Five ink blotters loaned
by Rene Elliott are shown here. Some were used and if so the back side is also shown.
Most had no dates, but a few were from 1953 when the First National Bank of Morris, NY
celebrated its "Sixtieth Year of Sincere Service."

Barbara Knapp Weaver, MCS Class of 1964, supplied the photograph of the 1957 Junior Band and the names of those in the photograph.
