They had a red, white and blue guitar autographed by Bruce Springsteen and a
1974 Cadillac bought a driven by Elvis Presley. Elvis gave the car to his
Father who sold it after Elvis died.
The variations in Edison's signatures was fascinating! These were documents
that were kept by the grandfather of the man who sold them that worked for
Edison. It gave an interesting insight to the inner workings of Edison's
day to day world.

Did anyone else see the episode of Action Kings tonight? They had a guy
bring in some papers hand written, typed and all signed by the old man
himself.
One was a note saying to keep paying a past employee because he had always
performed well. Another was a note saying to terminate a chemist, because
He wasn't much of a chemist. Another was a note saying that an employee
should be given a raise in pay to $90.00.
One was signed with his full signature, one with his initials only and the
third was simply signed E.
