Fretz & Ralston Check and Cover, SF and Columbia [155389]

Item Details

Description

Lot of 2. Fretz & Ralston were Ralph S. Fretz and William Chapman Ralston. In 1849, CK Garrison and Ralph Stover Fretz established a transportation agency in Panama which included banking services and operated as a casino. Charles Morgan, an American railroad and shipping magnate, hired Garrison as an agent for his steamship service running through Panama. The group battled for power with Cornelius Vanderbilt when they were all involved in the Accessory Transit Company, a firm which provided transportation from New York to San Francisco, via Nicaragua. Garrison came to California during the Gold Rush and served as mayor of SF from 1853-54. Ralston co-founded the Bank of California and co-founded the Virginia & Truckee Railroad and was therefore a significant presence on the Comstock Lode. The Garrison, Morgan, Fretz & Ralston banking house was formed in 1856. This is a later incarnation of that firm without Morgan or Garrison. 1) Cover sent to Fretz & Ralston in SF with Wells Fargo & Co. Columbia cancel on 3 cent stamp, plus W.O. Sleeper & Co.
