Journal of Business, 1922
Scope and Content
This collection contains the papers of Reid Stanger Fulton, economics instructor, avid book collector, and owner of the Graham Mansion (Max Meadows, Virginia). Included are several letters and legal agreements, relating largely to Fulton's Wythe County, Virginia property. The collection also includes a small collection of stock certificates, probably gathered by Fulton in the course of his book-collecting. A small set of newspaper clippings within the collection provides information on both Fulton and the Graham Mansion, while Fulton's career as a college instructor is represented in several class records and a 1958 economics examination. Also included are two 1922 issues of Journal of Business, featuring articles written by Fulton. A folder of typescript pieces includes an essay by Fulton titled "Is There a Paucity of Political Leadership," a short story titled "It Is Our Turn," signed "M.S. C.," an anonymous commencement address, and what appear to be course lecture notes. A folder of general materials completes the collection and includes a 1923 passport for Katherine Gourley (born 1853 in Ireland). Like the stock certificates, the passport probably has no personal connection to Fulton but was instead likely acquired by him in the course of collecting. The folder also includes two receipts issued to Fulton for the purchase of textbooks, some 1950s political/religious circular letters, and a land-use map for Fulton's Wythe County property.
