Ruthven and issued by MacKellar, Smiths & Jordan in four styles: Title Text (shown) with Open, Open No.&nbsp;2, and Open No.&nbsp;3 [Reichardt 2011]. All styles except for Open were patented July 5, 1870, by Richard Smith [Saxe 2015]. The solid style was sold by Woellmer as Kirchen-Gothisch [Reichardt 2011].

Certificates like this one were issued by the Chinese consulate-general in San Francisco to show that the holder was exempt from the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, which banned Chinese laborers from entering the United States. The Chinese exclusion policy remained in effect until it was lifted in 1943.

The heading combines a Celtic with Ronaldson (also used for the word “SEAL” at the bottom left), and the following paragraph combines Title Text Open No. 3 with Spencerian Script. The word “DESCRIPTION” is in Old Style Extended, while the labels for each item are in a Modern/Scotch. The italic at the bottom is in a style that was presented by MacKellar, Smiths & Jordan as a companion to Ronaldson (Old Style, No. 4) as well as to Bradford Old Style (Old Style, No. 2) and Binny (Old Style, No. 3). The Chinese signatures aren’t typographic.

A nineteenth-century abstinence pledge card. For another card, see Touch Not, Taste Not, Handle Not.

With Malice Toward None, With Charity for All
I, the undersigned, do pledge myself, God helping me, to abstain from all intoxicating liquors, as a beverage.
Feb. 22, 1881
Mrs. R. Best

The hatched blackletter goes by the name of Title Text Open No. 3. The left-leaning script is Bulletin and the wide slab is Antique Extended.
