scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: This collection consists of several thousand clippings of trade marks,  labels, etc., taken from magazines and newspapers, and labels. Many of them are quite small and a very few have dates and sources noted on the reverse side.  Most of them appear to have been clipped in the 1920-1940 period.  They were classified by the collector on the basis of the insignia, symbol or design of the trademark (not the product or organization which it  represents).  Subgroups include living things (animals, humans, plants) represented, objects (architecture, clothing, etc.) and symbols.  Business and other organizations, trademarks are subdivided by industry or sector.  Publications, including some of the U.S. Patent Office, which deal with trademarks are included.
