"High Standard" paint windows
This is a 1900 trade booklet published by the Lowe Brothers Company, a paint maker, showing shop-window display schemes for its dealers and agents selling the High Standard line. The pictures are photographs of stocked windows with paint cans, card signs with slogans, and stacked cans arranged in pyramids and rows. A designer could take from them the tiered stacking, bold painted lettering on card signs, and the way a single product line was staged as a repeated window motif.
