Nuns Boilproof Thread Catalog 1923

This is a lovely catalog put out by T. Buettner & Co of Chicago in 1923. The company was active from the early 1900's through the Twenties, maybe Thirties. I tried to find out more about this company and that name...Nuns Boilproof, but my Googling ability failed me. If you know any more about this please share.
I have some wonderful pages to show you from this catalog, stick around.
Is that suppose to be a Nun? It's such a hell fire image for a Nun to to be around.

This is embossed on a leatherette type paper...it was meant to be kept around.

Such luscious colors! "A size and twist for every purpose."
