Crane & Co.

More than 200 years ago, Stephen Crane decided to make a statement. And it wasn’t with his fashion forward breeches or well-groomed mutton chops. It was with his Liberty Paper Mill, named so just two years after the British occupied Boston – and just five miles away. A tres bold move, if we do say so ourselves. Today, Crane & Co. still calls Dalton home, our 100 percent cotton paper still incites swoons, and we’re still making bold statements. Still not with breeches.

‪#‎tbt‬ to one of our vintage advertisements! In the 1920s, Earnest Calkins of the Calkins and Holden ad agency began to hire talented artists to create campaigns—a novel idea at the time—including illustrator Nat White, who, from the 1940s to the 1960s, created many of those artful campaigns for Crane. ‪#‎madmen‬ ‪#‎heritage‬
