    1859 ,000 bond for the company. Signed by Norvin Green as president and also signed by corporate officers for The American Telegraph Co. Ink faded, heavy toning. This company was a merger of the People's Telegraph Lines and the New Orleans & Ohio Telegraph Lines. The telegraph lines went from Wheeling, Virginia to Nashville, Tennessee, and thence to New Orleans, as well as from Maysville, KY to Cincinnati and Nashville to Memphis. Norvin Green and a group of other businessmen leased these lines for operation. A series of consolidations in the industry ultimately led to the formation of Western Union Telegraph which served the entire United States-an idea that Green was amongst the first to support. Green served as president of Western Union.
