General Notes

Note

Part of a collection of photographs of the P.G. Coffman Company (widely known as Coffman’s), a Westminster stationery store operated by Preston G. Coffman, was conveyed to the donor, Thomas Eckard in 1969. Mr. and Mrs. Eckard renamed the store “The Kard Shoppe – Quality Stationers”. The below photographs and manuscript material are catalogued in the order they were placed within a scrap album maintained by P.G. Coffman. Many of these store window designs were entered in contests held by Rust Craft Publishers, Inc., a manufacturer of greeting cards and other companies. Page number and location of the photograph is noted. All scrapbook material was placed in the book using acetate mounting corners.
