        History

        Jansen, McClurg & Co. was an American publishing company. The stationery company W. W. Barlow & Co. was founded in Chicago, Illinois, in 1844. It soon changed to S. C. Griggs & Co. and briefly to Griggs, Bross & Co. (1848-1850). Alexander C. McClurg (1832–1901) joined the bookseller and publisher in 1859 and became its junior partner. After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, Griggs sold his share of the company, and it became Jansen, McClurg & Co. in 1872. McClurg became senior partner in 1886, and the company changed the name to A. C. McClurg & Co., remaining in business until 1962.
