Speaking of Packing Slips.....

Here is a packing slip from The Talking Machine Co dated 1899. I noticed that "Leachman Records" are listed so I did a Google check.....
Silas Leachman (1859–1936), a Chicago-based politician with a sonorous and rangy baritone, specialized in what were called "coon songs"—ragtime songs enlisting African American dialects and stereotypes. He made his first recordings for the Chicago Talking Machine Company during the early 1890s before recording for Columbia later in the decade. He made his first Victor discs in 1901.
Anybody have a Leachman record or cylinder from The Chicago Talking Machine Company?
