This full page ad from the March 1930 issue of "Hand Bag Modes" reveals several facts about the industry. First, despite the lack of information in the New York trade publications, there were manufacturers outside the New York area in the 1930s. Second, many manufacturers hired representaives to sell for them. Frank and George Hailmann are examples of these freelance salesmen. They contracted to sell handbag lines for manufacturers and represented several makers.
