"66320," is printed in the lower right corner, and "Merchants Credit Bureau," is handwritten in blue vertically in the upper right. The verso contains a lengthy typewritten list of employees, complete with listings of deaths, married names, and other handwritten updates, with December 27, 1977 being the most recent date.
