Envelopes with early 1900s cheques. (1895-1930). Source.



Envelope advertisement, 1987.

It seems probable that Tom would receive payment in an envelope. Payment could be either a cheque, or cash, or both (say, a cheque to cover his hours to that day, and cash bonus). Cash would be handy because he would have money on hand.




Fountain Pen. Woodcased pencils with fibre erasers.

There would have been many types of affordable paper, pens and pencil available by the early 1900s. Wood-pulp paper, fountain pens, dip pens and ink, pencils, mechanical pencils were all available. The Office Museum.

Great, GREAT! This is perfect, exactly what we need. We can print these Canadian bills out in color -- we only need a few. The check and envelope is great for the money from his boss and I think you're right, the cash, to have some on hand, is a good idea. Again we can probably print these Finnish bills out in color and have him hand them over.

Good job as always!
