New York, 1908, $10,000 6% Registered Bond. The company catered to the wealthy. Founded as a rug importer and seller in 1843, it was the first company to import oriental carpets into the U.S. In 1891, W. & J. Sloane incorporated and set the national decorating taste of the U.S. Over the next sixty years, it was known for decorating the homes of the most prominent people in the country, including the Breakers and the White House, as well as creating Hollywood movie sets, and interiors of automobiles. It opened a branch in San Francisco to furnish pavilions at the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition and it also furnished the model homes at the 1939 New York World's Fair. Extremely rare and attractive bond.
