Label Help - The Luke Horsfall Company?

[Emily O]

Hi Everyone,

I just got this vintage mens silk robe in a lot, but cannot find any info on the labeled company.

Does anyone know about The Luke Horsefall Company, Hartford, CT

Thanks!

Emily

HERE are many links to bits about the company.

From the links in my prior post I found that Wm B Rothschild and Luke Horsfall established Horsfall & Rothschild in 1882-83. The Luke Horsfall Co. was incorporated in Feb. 7, 1908. Mr. Horsfall seems to have died in 1909, but the latest reference to the Luke Horsfall Co. I found was around 1930. I then found Horsfall's Inc. in a 1934 directory.

I have attached here a 1909 ad for the company.

Thank you for the kind--but very unnecessary--words Mary Jane. (Looking for an embarrassed-smiley icon...where did they go?)
