Description	This wholesale catalog price list was published by the U.S. Playing Card Company of Cincinnati, Ohio around 1920. It includes illustrations and descriptions of playing cards, educational games, trays for duplicate bridge games, card dominoes, and poker chips manufactured by the company. The 48-page brochure measures 4.5" x 7" (11.43 x 17.78 cm). The first 22 pages are included here. The printing firm of Russell, Morgan and Company was established in 1867. In 1881, the company produced its first deck of cards. In 1891, Russell, Morgan and Company changed its name to the United States Printing Company. Three years later, the playing card business was separated from the company and became the United States Playing Card Company. The company continued to manufacture cards into the twenty-first century, including the "Congress" one of its original brands from 1881, and its most popular brand, the "Bicycle" which has been in continuous production since 1885. Both cards are featured in the catalog.
