That's really cool. I never knew those were from Lowell.
So I did a bit of looking and found a couple interesting things.
The company moved to Lowell around 1907 from Boston, 463-467 commercial street. The building is gone, or modernized so much it's not recognizable. The current building is part of the coast guard base.
The local paper on Nov 2 1910 was reporting that the creditors and bondholders of the company had met at the plant in Lowell to figure out if the company had the ability to pay it's bills. Apparently not, and one was appointed to look after the interests if the stakeholders.
On another interesting note, they were big in printing boxes and did work for "the sugar trust, from candy companies and the tobacco trust, and other concerns of similar kind" The tobacco trust of course was ATC, and the orange borders share a few poses with another more well known set.
Hmmmm...........I wonder what I can turn up in the local historical society.
Most likely nothing related, as their specialty was boxes especially novelty candy boxes for which they had several patents.
