Partly-printed DS, signed “W. G. Harding,” one page, 8.25 x 7, December 18, 1915. Voucher from The Harding Publishing Company (The Marion Star) filled out in another hand and made payable to W. G. Harding for $300, endorsed on the lower panel in ink by Harding. In very good to fine condition, with a band of toning to the upper panel.
Harding bought the Ohio daily newspaper The Marion Daily Star in 1884, and held ownership of the paper until mid-1923. Although Harding's editorial department slanted toward the Republican platform, the daily paper remained somewhat neutral due to its position as the newspaper of record for Marion County, Ohio. However, the Star's weekly publication served as the partisan arm of Harding's newspaper empire.
