Cassius Marcellus Coolidge (September 18, 1844 - January 24, 1934) was an American artist, mainly known for his series of paintings Dogs Playing Poker. Known as "Cash" or Kash in his family, he often signed his work in the 19th century with the latter spelling, sometimes spelling out his entire name, for comic effect, as Kash Koolidge. Pope Manufacturing Company was founded by Albert Augustus Pope around 1876 in Boston, Massachusetts, and incorporated in Connecticut in 1877. Manufacturing of bicycles began in 1878 in Hartford, Connecticut, at the Weed Sewing Machine Company factory. Pope manufactured bicycles, motorcycles, and automobiles. From 1905 to 1913, Pope gradually consolidated manufacturing to the Westfield Mass plant. The main offices remained in Hartford CT. It ceased automobile production in 1915, and ceased motorcycle production in 1918. Bicycles continued to be made available under the Columbia brand.
