Description
San Francisco: By the authors, 1867. Good. Two billheads, affixed to each other with two rivets; printed and partially filled in manuscript; illustrated with an advertising blurb in an elaborate border to upper left margin; a bit of age-toning and wear to corners; in good to very good condition. While Brewster and Company is often credited by some historians and researchers as the first coach-building family in the United States, others believe the honors belong to the Kimball family of Boston, where nine generations were involved in some way in the trade, starting with British-American wheelwright Richard Kimball in 1634, going through 1910-1912, when the company manufactured an electric car, to 1929, when the business closed its doors. The Omnibus Railroad and Cable Company was one of the earliest transportation systems in San Francisco, dating to 1861 and in operation until 1899. They will be involved in one of the very first legal cases, which challenged racial segregation, against African-American educator and Civil Rights activist Charlotte L. Brown. In 1863, after refusing to leave one of their streetcars on Filbert Street and being forcibly removed by the conductor, Charlotte, with the help of her father, brought a lawsuit against the Omnibus Company. Despite the company arguing that the conductor's actions were justified, as white women and children might have been repulsed by riding in the same vehicle with an African-American, Brown won her case and was awarded $25 by the jury. The conductor was convicted in a criminal court of assault and battery. Though the civil case would be tied in several appeals in the following years, the verdict would stay and in 1865 - another jury would award Brown $500. The billheads listed various parts and equipment purchased by the Omnibus Company for their cars from the San Francisco branch of the Kimball Company.
