Frey Yenkin was formed around 1920 and the company name was changed in 1954 to Yenkin Majestic. This paper is from the time period before 1954. It is not dated. Folded it measures 3.5" by 8.75". Opened it measures 3.5" by 20.5". It has the original tissue paper insert.
Here is background about the company when founded and named Frey-Yenkin Paint as provided by Bernie Yenkin relative:
*  The family had
started the paint business in about 1920 and the three brothers were all involved in the business along with my grandfather so they
used to go off to work every morning in one car, come back at the end of the day
in one car and everything was a unit, the business, the family, the whole thing.
Frey-Yenkin Paint Company was on 251 N. Sandusky Street. Frey was at one time a partner. Charles Frey who was making paint, black paint at that time, but not doing very well and couldn’t afford a telephone. That’s all he was making at that point was black paint. A very small, little operation and couldn’t afford a phone so he used to come over to my grandfather’s and father’s place next door to use the phone. And things moved along and they eventually decided, well the hide and fur business was getting, after World War I there was a lot of volatility in prices and it was a very difficult business so they thought maybe they’d go into the paint business with Mr. Frey. So they did and then they eventually bought out Charles Frey and then later, in 1954 when we moved from Sandusky Street to the present location at Fifth and Leonard Avenues, changed the name to Yenkin Majestic because Frey hadn’t been there for, I don’t know, thirty years or something. So that’s where the name came.
