The three companies were T. E. Webb and Co, which published greeting cards and sold them via mail order; Ivory Cards, which specialized in fund raising and charitable services based on greeting cards sales; and Joseph Arnold and Co, which acted as supplier to the other two. Following the formation of Fine Art and Philately, the company focused its greeting card and mail order operations under the T. E. Webb name.
