WARREN G. HARDING
Warren G. Harding endorses a check for payment for a printing job for the County.
Partly Printed Check endorsed: "W.G. Harding" on verso, 8½x3½. Auditor's Office Marion County, Marion, Ohio, 1893 May 3. Signed: "W.L. Clark" as Auditor. In full: "Pay to W.G. Harding or order Seventy Six 25/100 Dollars out of County Fund for Electric tickets." In 1884, 19-year-old Warren Harding and two friends purchased "The Marion Star" for $300. In 1891, Warren, aged twenty-five, married a local divorcée, Florence Mabel Kling De Wolfe, five years his senior. She had a son by her former husband and a sizable fortune from her wealthy family. For the next ten years, Harding's business prospered, principally due to Florence Harding's keen business eye and Harding's good-natured manner. His paper became a favorite with Ohio politicians of both parties because of his evenhanded reporting. His employees also loved and respected him for his willingness to share company profits with them. In his entire career, he never fired a single employee. In 1899, Harding won the first of two terms to the Ohio State Senate, serving as majority leader before his bid for the lieutenant governorship in 1903. After leaving office in 1905, he returned to his newspaper for five years, venturing again into state politics in a losing bid for Governor in 1910. Bank cut circulation and stamping, not near signature. Light folds do not touch signature. Fine condition.
