Scope and Content of the Collection

From the Collection:

Collection of business forms and cards, advertisements, and other commercial printing specimens created by Chicago printing firm Willens & Company. Originally compiled in a three-ring binder with a company seal on the cover reading "Willens and Company, successful printers since 1900. Standard business forms and advertising specialties, Chicago." The specimens include business cards; labels; order, receipt, itemized statement, and invoice forms; letterheads, stationery, and envelopes; coupons; match book covers; desk blotters; service tickets and tags; menus; commutation tickets; guest checks; and prescription blanks. Also included in the collection are brochures, catalogs, and other text describing the products and services of Willens & Company and current rates.

The specimens were compiled for a sales representative to demonstrate the company's line of "standardized advertising and printed necessities and to take orders for future delivery." Pasted inside the original binding is an identification certificate dated April 26, 1939, certifying that Stephen Jacumski of Buffalo, New York, is an accredited sales representative of Willens & Company.
