In 1921 there were Senate hearings about a proposed law that would change the customs duties on imports after the war. Coro, through their customs agent submitted some information as testimony for this hearing. What I find interesting in this snippet is learning the name of someone that they purchased pearl beads from, both before and after the war. That being Heinrich Heinz of Geiersthal, Germany. Also interesting is the name of who signed this letter. Jerome H. Oppenheim Co. What is his relationship with Coro? For info, the name of the man that this is addressed to: Carl Stern, is described in the Senate testinony as working for the customhouse agent for Coro - M.T. Corbett & Co.
