Letter from Ezra H. Fitch to William Loeb

Subject(s): Abercrombie & Fitch, Bags, Boots, Outfitting industry, Roosevelt, Theodore, 1858-1919, Safaris

Ezra H. Fitch asks William Loeb to inform President Roosevelt that Abercrombie and Fitch would like to make a complete outfit of boots for President Roosevelt, and that he is certain that they will be superior to any he would obtain from another source. Fitch also encloses samples of a new fabric that is being used in the production of bags, and offers to substitute these new bags for ones previously made for Roosevelt at no cost. Many other products are currently in production by Abercrombie and Fitch that Fitch thinks may interest Roosevelt.
