- Notes:
- Certificates representing ownership of corporate stocks and bonds ("scripophily") sometimes contain maps intended to promote the company. In this case, the map suggests the company's accomplishments in a tangible way: it shows three cable lines completed by the company in 1884 and 1894, using the MacKay-Bennett system, named after its two founders. http://www.hugovandermolen.nl/scripophily/texts/USA,CommercialCable.php, accessed November 25, 2016.
