Richmond Viall (1896-1973) was a family friend of the Chafees and kept track of contributions to the campaign effort over a fifteen-year period. He was employed by and eventually became vice-president, secretary, and director of Brown & Sharpe Manufacturing Company (1919-46). He served as president, treasurer, and chairman of the board of Marshall & Williams Corporation (1946-65). He was a prominent Republican from a prominent long-established family in Rhode Island and served on numerous Boards of Directors, such as Plantations Bank of Rhode Island, Providence Washington Insurance Company, and was trustee of the Peoples’ Savings Bank and Rhode Island School of Design. This series contains an interesting record of the financial underpinnings of a campaign.
The series is arranged chronologically by campaign and alphabetically by subject within each campaign year.
