Stock Designs of Page Borders, Top Folio Headings, Tailpieces, Display Pages was a catalogue put out by Benson Printing Company of Nashville, Tennessee, USA in 1922. It included, as the title suggests, a catalogue of stock blocks, a sort of early clip art or stock image, presumably so their customers could select what they wanted used in the work done for them.
There is a copy of this book at archive.org but not in very high resolution.
