Pittsburgh Stock Brokers: W. H. Clarke & Company

P'GH, PA.

W. H. Clarke doesn't show as a member of the Pittsburgh Stock Exchange in the Moody's 1901 list of Exchange members.  However, the firm does make an appearnce in the list of Pittsburgh brokers in the 1900 R. L. Polk & Co. list of businesses for Pittsburgh and Allegheny County:

W. H. Clarke & Company is listed at 333 4th Avenue, in the heart of the Pittsburgh financial district in the R. L. Polk & Company and R. Dudley's Pittsburgh, Allegheny City, and Allegheny County Business Directory of 1900.  It is possible that Clarke dealt mostly in real estate or business other than stocks, but his use of these high value tax stamps indicates the firm's role in high finance of some sort.
