Summary:
The Rochester Monotype Composition Co., Inc. was established in Rochester, New York in 1920 and appears to have operated at the 77 South Avenue location until at least the 1940s. It is unclear if the company ever designed its own type or only sold type designed by other foundries. This undated catalog, probably issued in the late 1930s or early 1940, includes: type metal, a small selection of borders and rule, as well as a set of Greek characters.
