Transcription :
The Ancient Assyrian method of Cuneiform inscription by which much of the world’s history was preserved for posterity.
Superfine Linen Record
Inscription has become writing or typing … and Canada’s contribution to the world’s recording and correspondence media is headed by her finest all-rag paper. Superfine Linen Record is crisp, clean, substantial, dignified … for your more important handwritten or dictated correspondence and an unequalled sheet for vital records and legal forms.
The famous “R” Shield watermark identifies Superfine Linen Record. It likewise distinguishes and guarantees the quality of Rolland Antique, Earnscliffe Linen Bond, Colonial Bond, Mount Royal Bond and that most popular of general utility sheets, Service Bond.
