A vintage advertising brochure featuring women's fashions including Silk Frocks Easter Hats Spring Coats and Sportswear along with pricing. In 195 John Joseph Haggarty opened the New York Cloak and Suit House a small exclusive women’s clothing store. He did so by securing a building on Broadway in the center of the Los Angeles business district and there laid the foundation for one of the most successful businesses in the commercial history of the city. Having become an esteemed leader in the industry after just a few short years he expanded his business with the opening of Paris Cloak and Suit House. He and his wife made annual trips to New York and Paris to bring the current fashion trends to the West Coast. When this venture had proved a success due in large measure to his expert knowledge of the business Haggarty purchased a controlling interest in another large house known as the Paris Cloak and Suit House. Into it he brought besides capital the wide experience and natural business ability which had made him a success in life. He was regarded as one of the shrewdest business and one of the most accomplished buyers in the foreign and domestic markets. Minor tanning else very good. Joseph P. Knapp, 1899. hardcover
18833005041883. 8"x5" 4pp handwritten letter dated November 16 1883 to a "A Lee Rothwell Wife" from 4 Church of Christ Elders: David Riggs G.G. Hertzog Robert Wilson and George D. Bower. ~~This tantalizing letter reads like a Congressional resolution in which the Elders lay out a few facts alongside a good deal of references to scripture to hint at some sort rupture between the Rothwells and the Church that they would see repaired. Apparently nearly a year earlier the Rothwells "did leave the communion.voluntarily and without just cause or justifiable reason; but in violation of the positive command of Jesus Christ.". This "disorderly and sinful conduct" caused the Church to withdraw fellowship. However they decided to write the letter in the hopes the Rothwells would return confess and they could all forget "the things that are past". ~~Who were A. Lee Rothwell and his wife Why did they leave the church and did they ever go back A very interesting and unique letter. Good. unknown
