The company manufactured quality blank book products on a small scale. As a consequence of the 1873 Wall Street panic Shaw became indebted to Massachusetts papermakers William Whiting of Holyoke and Levi L. Brown of Adams. In 1875 Shaws company reorganized in New York with Whiting and Brown as partners. Shaw withdrew from the firm by 1877 but remained a part of the industry for many years. In 1880 Whiting and Brown officially changed the companys name to National Blank Book. A year later the factory moved to Cabot Street in Holyoke MA. It was not until 1892 that the main offices also moved to Holyoke." Holyoke Library online. 1967 National Blank Book merged with Dennison a similar company to become Dennison-National.
