The agent will always want to add after his or her signature that the document is being signed “as agent for” the principal.

Texas-based artist Edward Gustav Eisenlohr (1872 – 1961) came to Dallas at the age of two, where his father established Eisenlohr Drug Store. Eisenlohr drew inspiration for art subjects from the Oak Cliff area of Dallas and his travels to New Mexico, the Texas Hill Country, and the western areas of his adopted state. Eisenlohr was Ellen Dorn’s grandfather’s first cousin—in other words, his grandfather was her great great grandfather.
