Cancel for May 8: Burrill and Stitt

BURRILL & STITT
MAY
8
1901
10 BROAD ST.  N. Y.

A New York brokerage firm.  Interesting in part because it is reported to have considered investing in the Klondyke gold rush.  One of its founders, George Stitt, died of a heart attack at 48 years of age on a New York subway train.  The New York Times reported that he was unmarried and lived with his mother at 203 West 113th Street when he died.
