Description
Brown & Bigelow is a publishing company currently based in Saint Paul, Minnesota, founded in 1896. It is perhaps best known for the calendars it published in the mid 20th century, many of which incorporated illustrations by Norman Rockwell. The company was acquired by Standard Packaging Corporation in 1960, which helps date this map to the 1960s.
Full publication information: “Created by Brown & Bigelow Div. of Standard Packaging Corp., U.S.A.”
