14379	G.W. Morris, Portland, Maine	Reference	Businesses, Publishing Business				Portland ME	19 Smith Street	Morris was an important publisher of pictorial books before they began producing view-cards. Most of their postcards captured scenes of the Northeast, especially of Maine and New Hampshire, but cards of other states as far away as Florida can be found. The nature of the drawn-in skies found on many of their cards gives then a very distinct look. Their early cards in tinted collotype were printed in Germany and Saxony. They contracted out their latter halftone cards to Curt Teich. - Information from “Publishers,” Metropolitan Postcard Club of New York, Accessed online 02/26/2017; http://www.metropostcard.com/publishersm2.html.
