Description

1880-present
Founded by Charles M. Higgins in 1880, Higgins Ink is still a top producer of ink worldwide. Just eight years after opening its doors, Higgins was providing ink for periodicals like Harper’s Weekly; this success allowed the company to expand its range of products, as the 1914 advertisement below shows. A bottle of Higgins Ink was found at the Charnley-Persky House in 2015.
