"By the year 1914, Whiting & Davis had opened an office in Quebec and had a presence in New York City and Chicago.
The Twenties brought in Art Deco and geometric designs. Whiting & Davis began stenciling applied patterns to create colorful patterns on the mesh handbags. Some of the brand's most popular handbags, still sought-after today, were introduced in this decade such as the Princess Mary, El-Sah, Picadilly, Delysia, Sunset, to name a few. The designs were adored by women across the country, from Hollywood to the everyday woman. Silent film actress Catherine Calvert was quoted in a Whiting & Davis advertisement in 1922 confessing, "I adore mesh bags... Even were they not the accepted thing among modish women, I confess to the fear that I would possess one simply to revel secretly in the fascination of its gleaming silken-textured mesh."
Whiting & Davis was again recognized when Irving Berlin's production of the 1923 New Music Box Revue was draped with shimmering mesh for the entire elaborate production. They called it the famous "Whiting" soldered mesh. The women danced in silver and golden mesh dresses as an enormous mesh handbag hung in the background scenery. Two scenes celebrated the beauty of mesh, provided by Whiting & Davis, in the "Maid of Mesh" and Fifty Thousand Dollar scenes.
In 1926, Whiting & Davis celebrated their Golden Anniversary at the height of mesh popularity in the Twenties. The factory was operating 500 machines and Whiting & Davis had become the world's largest specialty manufacturing jewelry house of its kind. Charles Whiting reminisced in the company newsletter, "It was no unusual sight in the summer to ride through the country and see groups of women and girls sitting under the trees in their yards making bags just as you would see them spending an afternoon sewing."
