This sale is for
one letterhead
from Q. F. WALKER & SONS, Merchants,  of Quin Siding, Texas in the year circa 1900.
The very odd thing about this letterhead is that I cannot find anything on the internet about a Texas city called QUIN SIDING.  Maybe this was the name of his ranch or domain?  The upper left corner of the letterhead has listed "Postoffice, Bonus, Texas".
BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE:
Walker, Quintillion F.
Post Special (Newspaper article): Eagle Lake, Feb. 8.--A telephone message was received here from Houston Sunday night announcing the death of Mr. Quin F. Walker of this city. His death occurred at 9:15 p. m. in that city. This sad message came as a shock to his many friends throughout the town. Mr. Walker was one of the greatest promoters and progressive citizens this city or county ever had, and the whole city is in mourning. Everyone was Quin Walker's friend.
He was one of the proprietors of the Vineyard, Walker & Co.'s bank, a member of the large firm of Frank Stephens company; also the G. W. Deaton company; was the sole proprietor of the Q. F. Walker meat market, and was largely interested in the Eagle Lake Rice Milling Company, and also of the Eagle Lake Rice Irrigation company. He was probably one of the best known stockmen and farmers in the state. He leaves a wife and several children and a host of friends all over the state to mourn his demise. Mr. Walker's insurance will reach to the extent of ,000 and probably more . Funeral will take place Tuesday February 9, at 10 a.m. at the
Lakeside cemetery
.
