About This Item
quarto, two page illustrated printed promotional circular letter, describing, and illustrating William H. Richardson's Patent Walking Cane Umbrellas, formerly folded, very good, clean condition.
The printed letter, from Richardson, lithographed on the first page of the circular, describes and promotes Richardson's umbrellas, particularly his "Patent Walking Cane Umbrella." Richardson describes his manufactory, which ran on steam power enabling him to make 1200 umbrellas a day, or "between 7 and 8000 umbrellas per week". This enabled him to keep his costs low and ensure a low price for prospective purchasers. Richardson claimed his was "the only manufacturer in the United States using steam, I have no fear that any, can or will, undersell me…" The circular states that umbrellas and parasols were 25 cents each. The illustration instructs the potential customer how to use the patent walking cane umbrella.Reviews
