| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 3 | Title: | Harry Stone Papers
| | | | Creator: | Stone, Harry | | | | Dates: | 1943-2006 | | | | Abstract: | Harry Stone (1917-2007) was a business leader in Cleveland, Ohio, active in politics and philanthropy.

The Stone brothers asked Representative Wilbur Mills of Arkansas to schedule the vote; American Greetings was at the time the largest employer in Mills' Arkansas district.
