Rare 1895 signed contract between Anheuser Busch and the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad. Partly printed document is boldly signed in ink by August A. Busch, ''Aug. A. Busch.'' Dated 1 November 1895, document reads in part: ''...Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroad...is owner of the land...suitable for...use as elevator and corn cribs...and The Anheuser Busch Brewing Assn is desirous of occupying said premises...'' In very good condition. An excellent autographed item from the early days of modern American capitalism.
