SOL BLOOM
Congressman Sol Bloom answers letter from a constituent
Typed Letter Signed: "Sol Bloom". 1p. 8x10¼, Congress of
the United States letterhead. New York, New York, 1930 November 3.
To: Mr. Wm. G. Watters, New York. In full: "My dear Mr. Watters: Received
your letter of October 30th, which I have read with much interest. I expect to
return to Washington immediately after Election, when I will be pleased to look
into this and be assured of my earnest consideration and attention to the
subject matter, Faithfull yours," William G. Watters ran two companies in
New York at the time of this letter-Hospital Supply Co. and Watters Laboratories
Consolidated. Sol Bloom (1870-1949) was a Representative from New
York (1923-1949). He began his business life in California as a theater
manager and promoted boxing matches. Traveling to Paris to attend the Exposition
Universelle (1889), he was impressed with the spectacular shows. He returned to
Chicago and developed the Midway Palisance for the World's Columbian
Exposition of 1893-he was 23 at the time. The success of the Midway resulted
in the term being introduced to American English. Chicago's political machine
took notice and he was soon a manger of M. Witmark & Sons, the largest
sheet music publisher in the U.S. By 1897, he was publishing under his own name
and was known as "Sol Bloom the Music Man". He was awarded the first musical
copyright of the 20th century and moved to New York in 1903, dabbled in real
estate and switched his political loyalty to New York's Tammany Hall.
Bloom won his first election to the House of Representatives by 145 votes.
While in Washington, he was in charge of the George Washington Bicentennial
(1932), and was the delegate to the convention to establish the United
Nations. He was the US representative to the first meeting of the UN
General Assembly in London 1946. Normal mailing folds. Creased and toned.
