Hope's Standard Steel Windows : descriptive booklet : Henry Hope & Sons, New York, USA : nd [c.1925] : printed at the Kynoch Press, Birmingham, UK : cover

            The Smethwick based hardware and window manufacturer Henry Hope & Sons Ltd. had, for many years, a high standard of advertising and publicity, and this small booklet is no exception. It describes their range of standard steel framed windows along with information and advice as to uses and fitting and although printed in Birmingham, at the Kynoch Press, it was issued in the company's name from their Park Avenue address in New York City.

Hope's had long exported to the US and in 1930 they acquired the International Casement Company, Jamestown, New York, and started production for the North American market. The highly regarded Kynoch Press was established by Nobel Industries at their Kynoch Ammunition Works in Birmingham and, when ICI was formed, it became the in-house printing works for the chemical giant as well as continuing to underake external contracts.
