Above is what appears to be a busines card for Jindrich B. Sixta that was found in Vaclav Filipek's Journal from the Agronomic School in Hracholuskach, Bohemia. That journal began September 26, 1884. Items in the card appear to be a rake, a plow, and a scroll of paper. Perhaps Jindrich was advertizing his services. It is not known why Vaclav kept this card.

On the card, Vaclav or Jindrich appears to be doing some calculations. Perhaps he is estimating the cost of a transaction. See flipped version below. The calculation to the right is a simple addition. The result looks like 248.59. To the left appears to be a multiplication of 24588 x 67. There is an error in the multiply by 7. It should be 172116 not 152116. I hope Vaclav made out on the mistake which underestimated the amount,

This card was discovered in March 2000 by Terry Nelson, a g-granddaughter of Vaclav and Katerina Filipek in her grandmother Rose Filipek's home in Florida. If you would like to add information about this picture, please contact Dave Jordan, a g-grandson of Vaclav and Katerina Filipek. The Picture Reference Number is DJA50.
