Click image to enlarge

I could hardly wait when I bought this 1926 letterhead to research it and find out what I could on this interesting event. Here is what I found on the web.
Every August Gallup plays host to Native Americans from across the United States in a massive Inter-tribal ceremonial. The Indoor and Outdoor Marketplace and the Ceremonial Showroom present the country's most complete and varied displays of genuine Indian fine arts, including Navajo rugs, katsinas, jewelry, pottery and basketry. There are socials, rodeos and parades.
Condition: folds, discolored area which runs down the left hand side, and some edge wear to the top edge.
This multi-day event began in 1922 so this is an early letterhead. Folds and discolored area running down the left hand side.

Undated but would be in the 1880's. One page of advertising with graphics on both sides. "The Reservoir Vases are made with a reservoir to hold water. The mosture is drawn up into the earth by capillary attraction. The soil does not get caked and hard as in vases where water is poured on the top of the earth. Reservoir vases only need watering once in ten to fifteen days, making them invaluable for cemetery use." See scans. There is an area on the second scan that looks like it may have had tape on it.

Nice graphics of this small lettersheet which was actually mailed from Jacksonville Florida. Here is some information found on the web about Wiedemann:
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Wiedemann Sr. was born in Eisenach, Germany, in 1833, Wiedemann came to the United States as a young man in 1855. He moved to Newport, Kentucky in 1870. He was the founder of the George Wiedemenn Brewing Company, which became Kentucky's largest brewery. It was located at 601 Columbia Street in Newport, Kentucky. Wiedemann beer was synonymous with Newport. Wiedemann promoted itself as "America's only registered beer" and often used humorous radio commercials as part of its advertising campaigns.
Wiedemann married Agnes Rohman and they had six children. Newspaper accounts described Wiedemann as an honest man with a natural sociability and a dignified businessman.
On May 28, 1890, George Wiedemann became ill and died at his home at 188 East Third St in Newport. The business was continued to operate by his sons, George Jr. and Charles.
Wiedemann Brewing was merged with G. Heileman Brewing Company, in 1967 and was operated as Wiedemann Division, G. Heileman Brewing Company, Inc. The primary brands were Wiedemann Fine Beer, Royal Amber Beer, Blatz Beer/Cream Ale and other assorted Heileman labels. The brewery was closed in 1983
