Excerpt from Catalogue of the Collections of Ancient Greek and Roman, European, American Colonial and United States Coins, Medals, Paper Money, Numismatic Books, Collected and the Property of the Hon. W. A. P. Thompson, Coatesville, Pa: Also the Collection of the Rev. Foster Ely, D.D., Stamford, Conn.; Catalogued by Herny Chapman, Numismatist, No. 1348 Pine Street, Philadelphia, Pa., To Be Sold by Public Auction, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, May, 12, 13, 14, 15, 1915 At nearly every sale bid-sheets arrive unsigned, and in a few instances I have not been able to identify the sender; so I earnestly request bidders to compare their bid-sheet with the catalogue, see that they are on the right numbers and sign their name and address, dispatching it at the earliest moment, so they will be here prior to the sale. Any one who receives one of these catalogues and has no use for it, or has discontinued collecting and does not want subsequent catalogues, will confer a favor upon me by returning it and notifying me of the fact, so his name may be removed from my mailing list.
