The records of Everett Worthington Inc. are particularly interesting because, unlike better known designers, his career spans the transition from earlier, more traditional design vocabularies to the post-1925 Art Deco style, with designs in wood, plastic, and metal. Worthington's influence at world's fairs and expositions across the United States from the 1910s through the 1930s familiarized consumers with streamlined beverage dispensers. Home goods - radio cabinets, clocks, and furniture - styled with exotic wood accents, to the intricate work in automotive interiors and trim wood work, are examples of his fine craftsmanship. The records are also important because they include billings and correspondence with the clients and photos depicting office practice and not merely photos and drawings of the objects themselves.

Correspondence and orders (1923-1938) contain contractual and retainer correspondence for Everett Worthington Inc.'s design services and includes purchase orders, requests, and requisition for payment requests. Clients include automobile companies such as Chrysler; clock making companies; decorators, Coca-Cola; furniture manufacturers; RCA-Victor, as well as other woodworking and merchandising firms.

Financial records (1927-1930) consist of purchase orders of various radio and phonograph manufacturers, furniture companies, and automobile manufacturers. The diverse use of KarVarT is also documented.

Portfolios (1925-1935) represent designs and projects that held great value for Worthington. He used these files when engaging new clients. His portfolios displayed his company's talent and capability and also served as a form of advertisement. This series includes sketches and photographs of Worthington’s designs such as toasters, store layouts, automobile interiors, radio cabinets, and Coca-Cola dispensers. There are also representations of his KarVarT process, including a catalog exhibiting architectural plywood panels and photographs depicting dies and presses used during the process.

Photographs (1933-1939) are largely undated, while the files themselves contain only a partial key to aid in identification. The photos demonstrate various aspects of Worthington’s design work and presentations, and range from Toastmasters and Gillette razors and talcum powder, to Coca-Cola designs, clocks, and radio cabinets.
