This list really is amazing. Thanks Scott and Del for the answer,
Richard and Angie for beating me to posting the scans, and everyone
else for the interesting tidbits.
I wonder if the Scotchmen ever did any recordings? It sure looks
like they did: The photo seems to capture the vibe of a session
perfectly.
I must say, my personal preference is the 200's blue background.
They sure had a good package designer over there in Minneapolis.

Quoting "Scott D. Smith" <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
Here is the reply from Del Eilers at 3M:

Believe it or not, it's a little before my time, before I started
at
3M. It's my understanding that it was a group of 3Mer's who had
a band
called the Scotchmen. I believe it was a studio in Minneapolis.
The
date would be late 50's, and early 60's that it was used. I
joined 3M
in 1963.

Greetings,
Just curious:
I wonder if anyone on the list knows where the photograph on the
box
of Scotch 200 of the orchestra musicians comes from. It is a
lovely
photograph, and one of my favourite product packages.
