The cover page of a catalogue booklet for Stow & Haight Company of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The company was active from 1880 to 1885 and tables were their primary product. After 1885, Haight was bought out by George Davis and the company reorganized as Stow & Davis.

“Tables” is in (a) Celtic (c.1867), “Catalogue and Price List” is set in Attic (1879), and “Of” might be in (an) Antique Extended (c.1858). The numerals for “1884” are from Oxonian (1881) and “Grand Rapids, Michigan” uses Old Style Extended (1880s?). The condensed roman for the company name and the sans serifs are yet unidentified.
