MEISSNER & BUCH: Based in Leipzig, Germany, Meissner & Buch printed artistic graphics from 1876 through 1914. It has been said that Meissner & Buch liked to buy collections and print them as such. The company eventually became known as the Anderson Nexo Print Shop.

REINTHAL & NEWMAN: This company was the second printing business started by Albert E. Reinthal. The first was Reinthal & gross, established in 1896. When that business dissolved, Reinthal began anew in 1905. Based in New York City, they printed until 1928, featuring many well-known artists.

SAM GABRIEL, CO: Also known as Gabriel & Sons, this printing company was one of the lesser companies.
