Container Corporation of America (CCA) was founded in 1926 and manufactured corrugated boxes. 1968 CCA merged with Montgomery Ward & Company, Inc., becoming MARCOR. Under the leadership of Walter Paepcke, CCA was a patron of graphic arts and design. The company amassed a collection of artworks that eventually found their way to the National Museum of American Art. In the late 1940s, CCA commissioned Herbert Bayer to create a World Geo-Graphic Atlas, which was distributed free to more than 150 colleges and universities. A review described it as the "most handsome and best atlas ever published in America." (WIKIPEDIA)
