    Stock is signed by George Widener as President but is
    issued to someone else
    .  Email for availability of a stock issued to a Widener (as shown in scan).
    NOTE #1: Yellow color in margin is from scanner, NOT on the stock!
    NOTE #2:
    If you would like to "hide" the autograph cancellations, buy a SECOND stock at our special discount and we will try to pick 2 certificates with holes that don't overlap. Mat and frame the stock you like best on top of the other one to greatly minimize the effect of the cancellations on the signature, so it will look "whole" without close inspection.

    . Widener was to streetcars what Jay Gould and Vanderbilt were to railroads! He controlled many if not most of the early tram lines in the Northeast.

    Signature may be affected by pinhole or punch hole cancellations but remains legible. The punch holes usually cover about 1/3rd to 1/2 of some of the letters (seldom all of them) up from the bottom of the letters, while the pinholes may cover most or all of the signature. However, the signature usually remains just as or more legible with the pinholes because they seldom obscure most of a single letter. To make the signature appear as whole and untouched as possible we recommend buying two stocks.
