MORRILL COMPANY (from the Norwood Historical Society): ******George H. Morrill Company made ink for the printing industry. Founded in 1845 in Massachusetts by Samuel Morrill who invented and produced a superior ink compared to what had been on the market. The company grew rapidly, new products were added, and sales expanded. By the early 1900s they had offices in New York, San Francisco, Philadelphia and Chicago. Their product line had grown as well. They started out making just black ink, around 1874 they began to make colored ink. By 1890, the company had enlarged its Norwood facilities to fourteen buildings. By 1910 it was said they were the largest producer of printing ink in the United States.******.
