Polychrome Corporation, a brainchild of Mr. Halpern, is now a major part of Kodak Co. and continues to live on. But the small company spirit died on Jan 1. 1998 when the company became a part of DIC-Kodak joint venture. This blog is dedicated to the memory of those who proudly call themselves "Polychromer". ..... Ken Shimazu shimazukenichi@gmail.com

Additional memo from Mr. Gumbinner 4 Stencil sales
Most of the stencils were for the army. The inspectors were more interested in how the shipping cartons were marked than to test the stencil to determine whether they met the government standards. Polychrome had an agent , Tom Wallace in Washington, D.C. who helped us get the government business. When I went to visit him, he took me to the Bureau of engraving where the currency was printed and the Smithsonian. The first building Polychrome erected was a small one to be the maintenance shop.
