Have a patron who lived in a rural area of the U.S.in the 1920's and 1930's. At that time there were traveling salesmen who visited farmsteads etc. on a regular basis as part of their sales routes. This patron remembers that one of these sales representatives used to sell flannel sheets, which her mother would often buy. The problem is that she can't remember which company sold this bedding through their traveling sales personnel. She knows it was not through the Jewel Tea or
Watkins companies. Can anyone help us find which company or companies sold flannel sheets etc. through traveling salesmen in this era?
Thank you,
