Zustand: Good. The format is approximately 6.75 inches by 10 inches. Single sheet with large color portrait of Abraham Lincoln on the left side and the quotation "A Lawyer's Time and Advice are His Stock in Trade" on the right side. Copyright notice at the lower right corner. Abraham Lincoln was admitted to the Illinois bar on September 9, 1836, and moved to Springfield and began to practice law. Lincoln emerged as a formidable trial combatant during cross-examinations and closing arguments. He partnered several years with Stephen T. Logan, and in 1844, began his practice with William Herndon. In his Springfield practice, Lincoln handled "every kind of business that could come before a prairie lawyer". Twice a year he appeared for 10 consecutive weeks in county seats in the Midstate county courts; this continued for 16 years. Lincoln handled transportation cases in the midst of the nation's western expansion, particularly river barge conflicts under the many new railroad bridges. He later represented a bridge company against a riverboat company in Hurd v. Rock Island Bridge Company, a landmark case involving a canal boat that sank after hitting a bridge. In 1849 he received a patent for a flotation device for the movement of boats in shallow water. The idea was never commercialized, but it made Lincoln the only president to hold a patent. Lincoln appeared before the Illinois Supreme Court in 175 cases; he was sole counsel in 51 cases, of which 31 were decided in his favor. From 1853 to 1860, one of his largest clients was the Illinois Central Railroad. His legal reputation gave rise to the nickname "Honest Abe". "A lawyer's time and advice are his stock in trade" is a classic legal aphorism that is often credited to Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865). "A lawyer's library is his stock in trade" was cited in 1807; "A lawyer's wits used to be an important part of his stock in trade" was cited in 1855. The novel Without a Compass (1885) by Frederick B. Van Vorst contained the line, "A lawyer's time is his stock in trade." This line was credited to Lincoln by at least 1928. "A lawyer's time and advice are his stock in trade" appeared on cardswith an Abraham Lincoln silhouettethat the West Publishing Company gave to lawyers in the 1930s. 15 November 1935, Greensboro (NC) Record, "Yesterday's Footnotes" by Ted Thompson, pg. 3, col. 2: You can pretty well tell, unless you already know, when you are entering the office of a young lawyer. On his desk, or perhaps on the nearest filing cabinet, you'll see a framed card bearing these words: "A lawyer's time and advice are his stock in trade.".
