Wendemuth's checker companion; a text book for all grades of players
A 1922 checkers text book by Frank R. Wendemuth, published in Chicago, Illinois, for players of every skill level. Its pictures are simple diagrams of an eight-by-eight board with black and white pieces placed in set positions, showing endgame problems; a designer could take the clean grid pattern, the diagonal hatching, and the plain round piece shapes as a compact motif.
