    Some Larkin History:
    The Larkin Company was founded in Buffalo in 1875 by John D. Larkin as a small soap manufacturing company.  By the early years of the twentieth century, the Company had reached the most prosperous era of its existence, and was manufacturing soap, household goods, furniture, food, drugs, paint; in short, almost everything.  Serving as a mail-order supplier to the entire United States, and operating numerous retail stores in the Buffalo area, it is reported that money poured into the Larkin Company offices at such a tremendous rate that it was removed from the envelopes and deposited into baskets and barrels, filling them rapidly.
