LITERARY DEPOT TOKEN INFORMATION

  Based on city directories & the Rulau token book
  Larry Dziubek sends the following information about
  the Morse token discussed last week:

  "M. P. MORSE,  literary depot, 76 Fourth appears in
  an 1850 directory and in the 1850 census,  but not in
  the 1844 or earlier directories.

  In the 1847 Pgh. directory he is at 4th between Wood
  and Market.

  The token issued between 1845 and 1847.  There are no
  clarifications of the business.  The text on the token
  appears in directories and in the census."
