William Gray Purcell (1880-1965) was an architect who was hired by Alexander Brother's Leather Belting Company.

These colorful items in this collection were possibly covers designed for trade catalogs or publications. They are all copyrighted 1917, designed in a modern style, and may have been commissioned for the company's commemorative fiftieth anniversary that year.
