Historical Perspective: Cataloging’s Early Years

Bob Griffith was the group’s unofficial second in command. An interesting thing about his sketches: He used the same female face in his women’s fashion layouts, a tall, wide-eyed blonde with flowing hair.

Maxine Bell organized the distribution of the catalog pages. After reviewing them with Kemper, she’d give the product jackets to the artist most suited to each. She attached the layouts when completed, and she approved each jacket before sending them on.
