The Inland printer
The Inland Printer is a trade periodical published in Chicago by the Inland Printer Company, first issued in 1883 for printers, bookbinders and graphic arts workers in the United States. Its pages carry advertisements and trade notices, and the pictures here show printing and binding machinery, a motor car advertisement and a bond sales scene. A designer could take from them the plain, diagrammatic line drawing of machines and the compact advertising layouts with captions set beneath each image.
