註釋

Three leather-bound scrapbooks contain photographs, newspaper clippings, business records and ephemera documenting the history of the Western Union Telegraph Company in Seattle. Many of the informal snapshots depict employees at work and recreation, including outdoor company activities. Business records include phone lists, internal bulletins, newsletters, memos, letters, and telegrams. Newspaper clippings document company activities and the personal lives of Western Union employees and their families, such as weddings, births, retirements and awards. The collection includes items of a social nature, such as inspirational sayings and poems, artwork, and a collection of miscellaneous greeting cards and notes collected by Frick. A series of hand-drawn, pencil caricatures of Western Union Delivery Department employees by artist Victor G. Vieg is of unique interest. A fourth scrapbook, disassembled, contains newspaper clippings and miscellaneous correspondence documenting the career and personal life of Democratic politician C.C. (Clarence Cleveland) Dill.
