Union Buggy And Harness Co. / (Title Page) Union Buggy & Harness Company Successors To The Union Buggy Company, Pontiac, Michigan. Manufacturers Of The Celebrated "Union" Line Vehicles And Harness

Union Buggy And Harness Company, Pontiac, Michigan

Publication: John Borman & Son, 1907, Detroit

First edition. 5 1/2" x 9" in gray-green printed wrappers. 192 pp. Black and white illustrations. Pricing. An unusually rare buggy and wagon manufacturer's catalog which focused on direct sales rather than a network of dealers. The catalog illustrates their entire line-up of buggies, surries, carriages, phaeton, Stanhopes, runabouts, road wagons, spring wagons, express wagons, delivery wagons, milk, bakery and mail wagons, with harnesses of all kinds, with illustrations, information on, and pricing for each. Harry and Frank Jacobs had initially partnered with H.L. Patterson in the Union Buggy Co. as early as 1901, selling the "Union" line of vehicles manufactured by other Pontiac, Michigan, wagon and buggy manufacturers and marketing them in their line of catalogs. After the Union Buggy Co. folded, the company was reconstituted for a couple years as the Union Buggy & Harness Co. Within a couple years the company must have folded because by 1910, Harry was working for auto manufacturers in Pontiac as a purchasing agent, and Frank was working as an executive with the local knitting mills. Also present is the original printed mailing envelope, showing a 1907 postmark. Light scraping to front wrapper. Very good.
