Truman, Harry S. Check Signed, Kansas City, Mo., 21 Feb. 1925. Written on the City Bank of Kansas City and paid to T.J. Murphy for $7.25. Very good; light soiling; bank stamp touches two letters in the signature, which is bold. In 1922, the men's clothing store that Truman ran with his World War I friend, Eddie Jacobson, failed and Truman spent years paying off his share of the store's debt. Also in 1922, Truman was elected one of three judges in Jackson County; he was defeated for reelection in 1924, but won election as presiding judge in the Jackson County Court in 1926. This is the era in Truman's life in which the check was written.
Estimated Value $250 - 300.
