[Catalogue] : Cleveland Iron Ore Paint Co., manufacturers of pure iron ore paints ... made from the purest material, and are superior to any in the market for fineness, uniformity and durability.
A trade catalogue issued in 1880 by the Cleveland Iron Ore Paint Co. of Cleveland, Ohio, promoting its pure iron ore paints to builders and paint buyers. The picture is a decorative trade-mark label with a shield-shaped emblem, a diagonal banner reading C.I.O.P.CO., an interlaced monogram, and the words Pure Iron Ore Paints in blackletter lettering. A designer could take from it the layered shield-and-banner layout and the mix of blackletter display type with ornamental filigree.
