"A large-sized note is a bill of any denomination of U.S. currency printed between 1863 and 1929. This is in contrast with small-sized notes, which were printed starting in 1928. Large-sized notes exist in denominations of $1 through $10,000. The most common large-sized notes are the Federal Reserve Notes of Series 1914 and 1918 . . ." — Large-sized note at Wikipedia

Therefore, a large staff of clerks was employed to sign their own names for the two officials. The way the plates were worded made it necessary for these clerks to write also the words For the in addition to their own names. It quickly became apparent that this additional wording was both wasteful and inefficient and the plates were at once changed so that the finished printed note read as follows, For the Register of the Treasury and For the Treasurer of the United States . . ." — Paper Money of the United States: A Complete Illustrated Guide with Valuations
