"We hereby beg to advise that all special quotations and net prices on Narrow Triumph Cross-Cut Saws and Wood Saws are withdrawn from this date. All future orders for these goods will be subject to list prices and discounts per our discount sheet of January 1, 1889. Soliciting a continuance of your orders, we are, Yours Truly, Richardson Brothers. "Perhaps someone made a mistake in the pricing of saws for 1890?

Courtesy of Chris from Woodnet.net comes a set of photos of a stack of Richardson saws and a very nice backsaw medallion.
