Helburn Thompson Co, specialty was the delicate and fine sheepskin used for woman’s gloves, mostly the elbow-length type that Hollywood ingenues sported in the 1950’s.
The entire purpose of the town of Gloversville NY, where Helburn Thompson maintained a branch office, was to manufacture such gloves. But styles change, and by the 1960’s no society woman would sport such gloves.
The economy of Gloversville died, and with it Thompson.
Note also that the firm was not averse to displaying a witch on broomstick motif in their advertising, decades before raucous Halloween celebrations became the norm in Salem.
