Flint, Eddy & American Trading was a large import-export company, based in New York but with offices located around the world. At the beginning of the 1898 tax period, Flint Eddy was an independent company from American trading. In 1900 they would merge, combining Flint Eddy's operations in Latin America and what was then called the east Indies with American Trading's operations in the far east. A more substantial summary of the companies and the merger is in the New York Times article included below.
The first document fragment comes from the independent Flint Eddy, from 1899:
