On April 29, 1858, following the Panic of 1857, seven prominent security printers merged to form the American Bank Note Company.

The security printing industry, finding a good deal of its work had evaporated, accordingly underwent a second major consolidation in 1879 and ABN absorbed Continental Bank Note companies in that year.

The paper for this contract (as for all Postal Notes and a massive number of official U.S. high security documents) was produced by Crane and Co. of Dalton, Massachusetts.
