RARE 1915-16 Colorado Tire & Leather Co. Ephemera - Gates Corp - Denver History

Description

Nice lot of rare 1915-16 ephemera of The Colorado Tire & Leather Co, which Charles Gates Sr. bought in 1911 and which eventually evolved into the Gates Corporation of Denver Colorado
At this time they made only one product, Durable Treads, which were attached to worn-out automobile (or wagon) tires to extend their life.
Gates changed the name to the International Rubber Company in 1917 and then the Gates Rubber Company in 1919
Great condition overall, except for the one-page color brochure, which has general wear/tear, tearing along crease folds, another small tear, some pencil marks and staple holes (see pics)
Other items may have stable holes and general age-related discoloration
Check photos to judge overall condition for yourself
Free and easy returns if not completely satisfied
Thanks!!
