Letter from Detroit Lions President George Richards, Presenting Edsel Ford with a Season Pass, September 5, 1934
Add to SetSummary
George Richards sent Edsel Ford a 1934 Detroit Lions football team season pass -- good for a reserved seat at their home games. Richards had just purchased and moved the Portsmouth, Ohio, football team (then called the Spartans) to Detroit. When the pass was cancelled due to federal tax regulations, Richards mailed Ford passes that could be exchanged for tickets to the remaining games.
