notes: label: Description
content: The Cassella Color Company, of New York—distributors of artificial dyes made by the Leopold Cassella Co. in Frankfurt, Germany—sent this sample of Spirit Blue B to the Smithsonian in 1914, for display in the U.S. National Museum. Shortly thereafter, German dye factories turned to war production, German imports to the U.S. dwindled, the U.S. government seized many German patents and handed them to American holding companies, and the Cassella Color Company became the Century Colors Corporation.
