Title: The story of American Bank Note Company
Description: This is the classic reference on the ABNCo written by William H. Griffiths. It covers the time period from 1795 - 1958 within its 92 pages. Many engraved portraits and vignettes are included.

ONE HUNDRED SIXTY-THREE YEARS AGO the organization that is now the American Bank Note Company first took root. One hundred years ago the skills, resources and goodwill of seven distinguished firms were combined to form a unique institution which throughout the years has been accorded the confidence of business men and government officials in most of the countries of the world, and which has dedicated itself to meriting that confidence.

The carefully preserved records of the Company must in great part remain confidential, in accordance with its long-established policy, for the protection of its customers. But the material that does not relate to the affairs of its customers—whether corporations or governments—or is already in the public domain yields a story which I believe will be interesting to all who are concerned with documents of value, and perhaps also to others who find romance and inspiration in the achievements of the men who have built America’s greatness.-Everand
