EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, showcasing an advertisement for Willimantic Thread. The American-based company, founded in 1881 and hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, proudly presents itself as a pioneer of its time. With the caption "America Ahead" it exudes confidence and ambition. The focal point of this advertisement is none other than Jumbo the elephant. Towering over all else with his majestic presence, he symbolizes strength and power. However, what truly sets him apart is that he is drawn by Willimantic Thread. This clever play on words not only highlights the exceptional quality of their product but also emphasizes their dominance in the market. As we delve deeper into this image, we are transported to a world where circuses reign supreme and elephants capture our imagination. It serves as a reminder of how advertisements during this era relied heavily on illustrations to captivate audiences' attention. Willimantic Thread's prominence as a manufacturer becomes evident through this striking visual representation. Their ability to create durable threads that withstand even Jumbo's might speaks volumes about their expertise in sewing materials. In essence, this print encapsulates an important chapter in American manufacturing history while simultaneously celebrating the allure of advertising during the late 19th century. It reminds us that innovation knows no bounds when it comes to companies like Willimantic Thread who dared to push boundaries and make America proud.
