content: Materials document the history of the company, as well as, the creative and financial aspects of managing a small family owned business. The company functioned as a mail order business providing products to consumers, retailers and organizations throughout the United States and across the world. Of interest are photographs of Frank Sherman and Mary Elizabeth Sandford in the office in 1915 with humorous narratives written by their daughter Ruth. The materials are arranged into four subseries including correspondence, financial records, product designs, advertising and marketing materials.
