Erie-DL&W Merger Information

Larry Berger provided me with a copy of the Erie - DL&W merger plan and other documents. This document is titled Report on Economics of Proposed Merger and was created by Wyer, Dick & Co., Upper Montclair NY on August 6 1959. Larry's copy is numbered 224. Note, I used an OCR capability so there may be wrong/ misspelled words in the documents.
