See photos for best information. 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.
