DescriptionAn ink blotter from the Saugatuck Lumber & Coal Co which is 6.3 in long by 3.5 in wide. The back has a blue blotting paper and the front has a colored image of a home with the company's name printed underneath and a white border around the edges. There are also the words, "Creo-Dipt Stained Shingles STAINED UNDER PRESSURE" printed in a square in the upper left corner of the image. On the right hand side of the front there is more print which reads, "CREO-DIPTS Stay Colorful Longer Because they are Stained and Preserved by a Patented Pressure Process."Also, in the bottom left corner of the white border there is "Litho In USA 29148" printed in very small letters. The blotter belonged to Jan Upton's aunt who passed away, which is how the item came into her possession. The age is unknown, but the company was in business from 1920-1960 and the style is consistent with other creo-dipt ads from the 1920s.
