About This Item
Racine, WI: S.C. Johnson & Son, 1974. Book. Very Good+. No Binding. 1st Edition. A loose leaf binder, with an introductory letter, dated July 1974, from Jack Moll to a New York law firm lawyer, describing the history and scope of the S.C. Johnson & Son company. Contains "information of almost every aspect of Johnson Wax." About 20 pages, single sided text followed by 10 full page loose black & white photos of Johnson facilities. What makes this photos special is that they are mostly picture of the work that Frank Lloyd Wright did for the company. "In 1936, third-generation SC Johnson leader H.F. Johnson, Jr. sought out the architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Even though ground had been broken for a new administrative office, H.F. wanted to explore a more modern approach. And he wanted it enough to scrap the old plans and take a risk on the innovative Wright. He later explained, "Anybody can build a typical building. I wanted to build the best office building in the world, and the only way to do that was to get the greatest architect in the world." So began a relationship between H.F. and Wright that would endure for decades. Quite an uncommon look at this iconic American company..
