Dear Schwinn Dealers:

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce Lion
Uniform to you as the new supplier for Schwinn Image Wear
Clothing.

I am sure you will agree when you review the new brochure
that Lion Uniform will supply you with the style, price and
quality clothing you deserve. As a Schwinn dealer, you know
the value of having the best; it is our expectation that
Lion Uniform will continue in providing the best for you.

Very truly yours,

Just a note ... Schwinn used various uniform work clothes brands prior to Lion, some of the brands on the clothing I have acquired are Red Kap & Topp Master, as I am sure there are others.

It's funny that you would bring up Edward's name as blame for something so mundane as the annual dealer uniform catalog. I can assure you that Edward and his band of MBA's never spent any time on this dealer program. Gregg Kinkade the Sales Promotion Manager must have had a short tenure, because I do not remember his name, or working with him.

Very correct, I think Uni-Tog was another uniform company they offered to dealers.

That shirt was later repurposed for Where's Waldo.

That late 70’s styling looked more like something at Hotdog on a Stick.
