American industrialist (1868–1938) who organized the Firestone Tire & Rubber Company in 1900. He later became a close associate of Henry Ford and the main supplier of tires for Ford’s automobiles. TLS signed “H. S. Firestone,” one page, 8 x 10.75, extremely rare Firestone Tire and Rubber Company letterhead, June 18, 1913. Letter to W. M. Hart, the Western Manager of Town and Country. In full: “I have your valued favor of the 17th advising me that you would see Mr. Patterson on his return and also suggesting that I call on Mr. McKay, President of ‘Town & Country’ when in New York. I am going to sail on July 5th and if I can I will be in New York on the 3rd. While that will be a very busy day for me down town I will call on Mr. McKay if I can. I thank you for the interest you are taking to make my trip more pleasant.” The final sentence has been underlined in red ink in an unknown hand. In very good condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, staple holes to top left corner, office stamp to upper right, a couple stray pencil marks, and some light creases. A rare business autograph and the only one we have seen on this company letterhead.
