New York: The C. E. Connover Company, [ca. 1910]. First edition of this sample catalog. Small bifoloium (3 1/2 x 5 7/8 inches); 4 pp. On the cover is a photographic illustration of a Wright Model A in flight and using Naiad cloth for the wings. Inside are four actual cloth samples with their prices on the opposing page. The rear cover is taken up with an explanation of the various benefits of the four cloths advertised. Some edge wear but a very good copy of this extremely ephemeral piece of early aviation advertizing. No copies have ever been recorded or sold.C. E. Connover began his Naiad manufacture around 1906 in order to sell "Dress Shields". In the days before modern antiperspirants these shields were placed by women in the underarm in order to alleviate unsightly sweat marks. He soon realized that he had the machinery and know-how to manufacture cloth (known in the aviation world as "dope') for airplane wings in the nascent aviation market. Connover's cloth was very widely used and very well regarded. Among others it was used on the Herring-Burgess Model A, the Cooley Airship and many others.
