Alogna, Michael "Mickey" Paul,

"While still attending school at the age 13, he began a long career in the paper business working as an errand boy for the Storrs & Bement Company. Over the next 12 years, he worked his way up to become the founding manager of the firm's Hartford office. In 1956 he became Vice-President and General Manager of the Green & Low Paper Company. He was appointed Vice President, Manager and a Director of Henry Lindenmeyr & Sons, Paper Merchant in 1957, retiring in 1971."
What's New on this page -- changes since 07-01-2022:
06-30-2024:
Added #973, the "Type" numbers for the GP crops at the top of the page, and started converting this page from "Servicer" to "Cachetmaker". Further research has found no proof that he designed and printed the cachets. What I did NOT find, was that anybody else was involved in the production of these FDCs over the 32 years and 3 different paper companies where Mickey Alogna was employed.
