  • I've drawn this information from the sources listed below
• "ONE ISSUE of 'S & B' in 1890 contained MORE ADVERTISEMENTS of the PAPER-MAKING, STATIONERY, AND FANCY GOODS Branches than all the other Journals in these Trades combined. This is an undeniable proof of the claims of 'S & B' to the support of those Trades of which it is so worthy a representative" (Willing's 1891, p. 240)
• Publisher's address (J. S. Morriss) in 1891: 165 Queen Victoria Street, London (journal itself)
