A VINTAGE ROLLER RINK LETTER WITH GREAT AND COLORFUL LETTERHEAD

 

(ROLLER SKATING).  TLS. 1pg. November 13, 1908. N.p.  A typed letter of letterhead of the American Roller Rink Co., based in Liverpool.  General manager C. P. Crawford replies to an inquiry about employment. The thick top border of the stationery shows three color scenes of fashionable men and women roller skating on one of the company’s many rinks. The center image claims “If you would be graceful learn to skate”, while all three advertise the events, bands, teas, and lessons offered by the rinks. Along the left-hand side of the letterhead appears a list of American Roller Rink Co.’s twenty-three rinks “the world over” (in England, Ireland, Scotland, and America). The letter is in very good condition and is a vivid token of an early-20^th century crazy for roller skating.
