B. F. RICHARDSON COMPANY. Established in 1908, the company did not begin active production for fifteen months and then grew so quickly that more space was needed. The factory specialized in men's unlined work shoes in waterproof leathers.
An estimated six different kinds of shoes were manufactured. In 1910 the company kept no stock on hand because everything was sold as quickly as it was produced. For this reason, the company had no salesmen on the road.
