Interesting Clothing Label....
 
1 Attachment(s)
A friend just picked up a sweater with this label but I can't find anything about the guy who's the manufacturer. Maybe I'm reading the name wrong?

Example on eBay last month.
 
I see a red one on eBay.

That seller wrote out the manufacturer’s name just the way I see it on the label.

Now I want one.

Are you referring to Octonek?

or Frank Troeh?

Troeh's Sporting Goods was a major dealer in Eugene

Frank was who I meant, I was spelling the name wrong. Thanks!

Troeh used a Smith at the 1920 Olympics but did most of his singles work with a Winchester Model 12

Troeh was a big name in shooting clothing and trapshooting. I think Larson might be a name in trapshooting also.

The Troeh family may have had several stores
712 Main St., Vancouver, WA
3441 N. E. 68th Ave., Portland, Oregon

Charles Larson won the 1917 GAH with a Flues SBT
