This collection features bills of sale, insurance documents, payment vouchers, and telegrams related to the purchase and management of automobiles for Rosenwald Fund field workers, from September, 1934, to December, 1935. Key figures mentioned include Horace Mann Bond, John E. Wilson, Estelle Massey Riddle, Buford H. Junker, Margaret Simon, and various car dealers and insurance agents. The documents detail the purchase of several used cars, mainly Ford and Chevrolet models, across Louisiana, Georgia, and Arkansas, along with the registration, insurance coverage for public liability and property damage, and maintenance arrangements. The Fund's agents coordinated the acquisition and resale plans for the cars through telegrams and bank drafts, for support to their field staff’s transportation needs in rural education studies.
