Additional Details

"Turn-Out of the American Express Company, Buffalo, N.Y. is, I think for its pure expression of the spirit of lithography, with its eight horse team, and the gentlemen's high hats, one of the most delightful advertising prints I know of. Their work is excellent" -- (Harry T. Peters, America on Stone, page 349; plate 128). No copies in OCLC or auction records.
