Who was the printer and selling agent behind “Adams Press” located at 19 Park Place?

Today, I share the first page of a July 30th 1924 letter sent to 19 Park Place from Clinton Burgess (who is credited as compiling Elliotts Last Legacy) that reveals who is Adams at “Adams Press”.

The above letter is addressed to Frank H. Adams.

  1. Thanks for displaying the Burgess letter. I may try to read it on my Samsung smartphone. The HD on that screen might improve the image.
