Arkansas River Packet Co

*ARKANSAS RIVER PACKET CO./LEE LINE STEAMERS*
Steamboating colleagues,
Morning, Kathleen. Thanks for again posting your ARKANSAS PACKET CO. 'Pass' in the name of Mr. Rudd. No doubt he traveled in the line of business. All your steamboat 'Pass' cards striking in simalarity of print and type using the rather 'generic' logo of the steamboat in the pilot wheel. There were printing companies then specializing in work for steamboat and railroad lines.

For the fun of it go to your internet search engine, type in ARKANSAS RIVER PACKET CO. and hit SEARCH or GO. Up comes a link to LEE LINE STEAMERS with another example of an ARKANSAS RIVER PACKET CO.'Pass' card. The LEE LINE web well written/posted on the history of that famed company. The sage S&D REFLECTOR has serialized four installments of the LEE LINE history with photos authored from family papers by James R. Lee, Sr. Thanks for joining Steamboats.org. Have you other photos of steamboat china or river 'Pass' cards?
