About the author

Armstrong Cork Company was founded in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1860 by Thomas M. Armstrong. It began with cork cutting and gradually expanded into a much larger manufacturing business, becoming especially well known for products such as floor coverings and insulation materials.

Over time, the company helped shape the American building-products industry. Its name became closely associated with cork, linoleum, and interior materials used in homes, offices, and public buildings.

Because this is a company rather than an individual author, there does not appear to be a personal portrait to feature here.
