Business letters on letterheads from various companies across the country were sent to a bicycle company in Plymouth, Indiana in the late 1890s.  The company rapidly evolved through name changes while dealing with a rise and fall in the demand for bicycles, worker unrest and a strike, company layoffs, and a national recession.  The company was known as Elektron Cycle Company, Bass and McDonald, Plymouth Cycle Company, and the Smalley Bicycle Company.   It went into receivership with Leander Southworth leading the company through its bankruptcy and debt settlement.  The Company made the Smalley bicycle among others.
The letterheads that are offered here for sale were discovered decades later in the attic of the former home of Mr. Southworth.
Please look carefully at the pictures for the best description of condition.  Discoloration from aging, pin holes from straight pins, punched holes, and wear on the edges are possible and likely.  There may be shadowing from the angle the picture was taken.
Shipping is first class package.   I am very willing to combine shipping even if the automatic listing says otherwise.  I can adjust the invoice before you pay. Bundle offers welcome.
All proceeds from this sale support a county museum.
