Here is what Carole reported for us:

What they are reportedly terminating is not exactly what I call
"print mounting services."  It has sometimes been referred to as
the "monolith."  They would print both the left and right image
on a single piece of paper, which could then, presumably, either
be viewed as-is, or dropped in a Q-Vu mount for minimal-fuss stereo
print mounting.  I am not aware that Grand Photo ever offered a
mounting service (but I'm new to stereoviews).

In a print order I received from Grand Photo there was an "ad" for
a stereo print mounting service.  It reads, in part:

              Print Pair View Mounting Services
                 by SteroType (as of 11/11/94)

   15 years experience in stereoscopic design & prints support the
   optimum trimming and placement of your stereo pairs onto Society
   (3.5 x 7 inch card) or "6x13" (2.5 x 5 inch) format.

Both "Open Mounting" and "Q-Vu Mounting" are offered.  Price at the
time was: "$2.50 each (by check, $10 min covers 1st class return).

Address:
  StereoType
  PO Box 1637
  Florence, OR 97439

Hope this helps.
