Scrapbook, mostly having to do with Creston Clarke, Sanford Dodge, and the Holland-Webb and Webb-Dumont Companies. Notes in an unknown hand. Consists mostly of clippings. Includes 8 x 10 photographs. All of the photographs but one are unlabelled. The one that is labelled identifies the subject, a little girl, as Francis Downs Webb. One other has a typed label on the front, saying "Webb-Dumont Company." Most have a photographer's mark from Monmouth or Marion Illinois. Judging from the area covered, it looks like this is a scrapbook put together by a member of the company.
