Paper Mills' Company (Chicago, Ill.) · 1905 · Chicago : The Paper Mills' Company · 1 picture

A 1905 Chicago sample book from The Paper Mills' Company, issued to show decorative papers to trade buyers. The cover image is a marbled paper with an orange and black oval badge reading The PM Co Quality, with the company name and Chicago address printed around its rim. The swirling blue, rust and cream marbling offers a ready reference for organic, ink-on-water surface textures a designer might reuse as backgrounds.
