Map was printed on heavy paper by the Standard Blueprint Map and Engineering Company 515 Main Street, Fort Worth Texas in the mid-1920s. Bears several owner's red ink hand stamps that read: "Return to H. N. Harris, Fort Worth Nat'l Bank Building Fort Worth, Texas." Several lawsuits of the period reference a H.N. Harris, possibly associated with H.N. Harris Company or Inland Oil Company. |
