Knife show display

William H. Maher and Emil Grosh started the Maher & Grosh Wholesale Cutlery Co. in 1877 with a goal to sell high quality US manufactured cutlery globally. The original business dissolved in 1988, but the brand has since been resurrected.

Roger. The second picture down. Are those knife catalogs? From what years? All the displays look amazing.

Yes they are Keith, they range from the top around 1900 to 1964.I have at least 25 catalogs from the1890's to 1977 or 8.

A great display, Roger. A lot of time and effort, not to mention expense, went into that display.

The book "On The Road to Riches" is intriguing. Who is the author? Is it cutlery related?

Thanks.

Joe the book was written by William H Maher in 1878.It was written about how to get rich.From what I have read it was required reading by many college MBA programs for upwards of 50 years on the art of selling.It was published one year after he and Emil Grosh started doing business.

Emil Grosh was the older of the 2.They both previously had worked for hardware firms before they partnered up and started their own business. Maher appears to have been more involved in outside interests than Grosh.Maher bought out Grosh in 1900 if my memory serves me.Grosh drown a few years later and Maher passed in 1913.Maher's son in law ran the company until 1962 or so.
