Wanzer Alex Askaroff

Little did his Quaker parents know, when the screams of their newborn child echoed around their little farmhouse near Ithaca, New York on September 3rd 1818, that they had ushered into the world the man who would go on to become the first pioneer of Canadian sewing machines and by 1875, the maker of the finest sewing machine in the world. While the largest battle in American legal history was taking place between the Sewing Machine Kings, Richard Mott Wanzer quietly slipped across the border into Canada and copied their machines! Free from prosecution he flourished, as did the town of Hamilton where his factories were. Here for the first time is the story of one of the greatest sewing machine pioneers who grew from humble beginnings into an immensely wealthy entrepreneur and business man, THEN HE LOST THE LOT! Brought to you by world renowned author Alex Askaroff.
