Pendleton Woolen Mills First Newspaper Advertisement 1901

Pendleton Woolen Mills First Newspaper Advertisement 1901
 Hello everyone, one of my favorite American companies is Pendleton Woolen Mills. All the Pendleton clothing  that I own is top-notch quality. For my throwback Thursday post I'm taking you way back to one of the company earliest advertisements. This advertisement dates back 1901 and it's their first newspaper advertisement. The company used to be the Indian Robe and Picture Company and their main consumers were the Indian reservation. The pictures were taken by Lee Moorhouse. Moorhouse was fascinated with Indian Culture and he started to record the local history around Pendleton, Oregon and his Indian images were heavily used on Pendleton Woolen Mills advertising until 1914.
