Union Buggy & Harness Company successors to the Union Buggy Company. Manufacturers of the celebrated “Union” Line vehicles and harness. . . . by [WAGONS]. JACOBS, Harry L. & JACOBS, Frank G - 1907.

Pontiac, MI: Union Buggy & Harness Co., 1907. Oblong 8vo. 9 x 5.7 in. 192 pp. Decorated title page, w/ 100s of woodcut-engraved illustrations & diagrams throughout. Gray illustrated softcovers, w/ original printed mailing envelope, w/ 1907 postmark (minor tears, splits, chipping), F/G- copy. First edition of this unusually rare buggy & wagon manufacturers catalogue issued by this Pontiac, Michigan firm which focused on direct sales, rather than a network of dealers. The catalogue illustrates their entire line-up of buggies, surries, carriages, phaeton, Stanhopes, runabouts, road wagons, spring wagons, express wagons, delivery wagons, milk, bakery & mail wagons, with harness of all kinds. Harry (1860-1940), and Frank G. (1864-1919), 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, MI wagon and buggy manufacturers marketing them in their line of catalogues. 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.
