The papers contain correspondence, memorandums, reports, bulletins, clippings, and other printed material relating to the above activities in which Teague was engaged. In scope, they cover the period from 1901 to 1950, although it was the policy of Mr. Teague's office to destroy papers over fifteen years of age. There are no complete files for the period before 1939. Exceptions were made for certain materials considered too important for destruction. These papers retained include: letter books, 1901-1905; sppeches and addresses, 1914-1938; the failure of the St. Francis Water Supply Dam, 1938-1929; and papers relating to the United States Federal Farm Board, 1929-1931; and a general file relating to Mr. Teague's regular business activities, 1929-1931.

A special file of papers relating to this position will be found at the end of the alphabetical file for 1943. There is also a group of photographs and printed items included with the papers. 137 3
The papers remain in their original arrangement which is chronological by year and alphabetical by person, organization, and subject thereunder. Within folders, correspondence and other materials are filed chronologically. Readers are therefore requested to use one folder at a time and to return each piece to its original position. As the papers were transferred from large filing cases to document boxes, a key is supplied below to indicate the box numbers containing the units of each alphabetical file.
