Villa Corona
Hacienda de Estipac
The Hacienda de Estipac, owned by the brothers Francisco and Enrique Corcuera, was a sugar cane plantation and a “fatal hacienda” for those who lived there during the Porfiriato, according to people who lived there, The hacienda was large in extent, and surrounded by high adobe and rock walls. It was divided into two patios (yards): one where the peones lived in their straw huts, and from where no one could go outside after 8:00 p.m. It was forbidden to trespass into the patio where the main buildings were. There was a torreón (watch tower) where guards were stationed in order to watch the peones. Any peon caught trying to escape was shot to death. Only the servants were allowed to go to the main buildings through a door located by the church. The hacendados did not permit strangers on their premises and the foremen (capataces) took care that the peones did their work.
The first issue were uniface cartones made by Juan Kaiser on 13 February 1914 of Royal Index Bristol pressboard.

Delgado states that the blue 5c and green 10c cartones were produced by Juan Kaiser but he gives no figures and this seems unlikely.
The Casa Litográfica Iguíniz also produced another series, measuring c. 61 x 35 mm.

Strangely, although these are identical to the Hacienda El Limón cheques they were printed by the Litográfia Loreto y Castillo of Guadalajara, rather than the Litográfia Industrial.
