Eckman, James. "The Inland Type Foundry, 1894-1911" PAGA. Vol. 8 (1960): pp. 31-52.

This is online at: http://cg.scs.carleton.ca/~luc/inland/ The online version also contains another article by Eckman, "Inland Type Foundry Specimen Books." I don't know if it is from the same source or not; it is paginated 110-122.
