Pick-up & Delivery Service mailer – Mono Lino Typesetting, John Thimidis, 1961

Mono Lino was known for their reliability and service and, within the shop, it was a serious matter if a delivery was late, or worse, missed. By the late ’70s their shipping department had a staff of twelve. In addition, a large number of jobs were sent daily in a steady stream of outside couriers and taxi’s.
The back of the mailer shows a small assortment of decorative Monotype borders and ornaments available from Mono Lino. By the end of the 1960s the use of decorative borders and ornaments began to recede and they would never return to popular commercial use.
