My mom found the original 1968 New York State business certificate that certified Evergreen Trading Co. as a business and she asked me to scan it. Knowing the importance of this certificate, I scanned it using the scanners at work and now I can literally see the fibers from the old paper in the hi-res scan. I can blow this up into a big vinyl poster if I wanted because the scan is so super-hi-res.

I’ve included snippets of the document below (but not the whole document, obviously) for you all to see. I love how the paper has turned somewhat dark brown over the years. I wonder why that is.

Anyway, this company would later become Yung Kee Trading and Real Evergreen.
