Tom Tru Corporation info?
I just purchased a very large canvas print painting from a vintage dealer and on the back is stamped Tom Tru corp. Does anyone know anything about this company?

Sounds familiar
I seem to remember seeing that name before. That image is pretty well known Josef Albers painting (Homage to the Square: "Departing in Yellow"). Yours may have been a licensed reproduction or (more likely) a copy sold for corporate interiors. It would be easy to change a piece (scale, color) enough to avoid copywright infringement. Can you tell if it was hand painted or screen-printed?

Raymor acted as distributor...
Raymor acted as distributor for Tom Tru. They were located in Lambertville, NJ. Many of their"original" wall hangings are by Robert Bushong - often signed "R. Bushong"

I know it's Albers-like but...
I know it's Albers-like but it's hard to definitely say it's a repro of the yellow piece because every photo I've ever seen of the yellow homage piece appears differently due to colour shift variations. It's brighter than what I recall having seen at the Tate. The piece is not signed on the front in any way. More details to follow after I can examine it more. Thanks everyone.

Here is my
wall hanging that Jesgord thinks might be Robert Bushong for Tom Tru but mine is not signed anywhere.

what is the cost of this canvas
I have a canvas the same as this one that's stamped Tom Tru
on back with copyright on it. There's also a red lable with Tom Tru printed on it.

Does anyone know the value of this canvas.

Thanks
