Franciscan Marks Brochure
 Index to Pages

 In 1962 Otto Lund, designer for Gladding McBean & Co., researched all of the marks used by the Gladding McBean & Company in preparation for the merger of Gladding McBean & Company's with Lock Joint Pipe Company.  In September, 1962, the new corporation became International Pipe and Ceramics - later renamed Interpace. From his research, Otto created this report (brochure.)
