The company owners, Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Ver Mehren, designed the patterns, using her maiden name Mary Jacobs as the author. R.N.A. Rock Island, Illinois refers to Royal Neighbors Association, an insurance company that published a popular magazine in the 1930s that carried the Ver Mehren patterns and quilting designs.
