Step into mid-century American business culture with this vintage ink blotter featuring an advertisement for Marietta G. Clayton of Geo. D. Clayton & Sons. Set against a bold red background with a cream-colored center panel styled like a business card, this blotter captures classic design and practical promotion from the post-1963 era—marked by the presence of a ZIP code but before mandatory area codes in phone numbers.
The card lists the address as 666 Broadway, Hannibal, Missouri 63401, along with the phone number 221-8484. Marietta G. Clayton is associated with Geo. D. Clayton & Sons and represents the USF\&G Insurance Companies—a quiet testament to the local, personalized service of the time.
This ink blotter would look great framed, make a wonderful host/hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
