After a short period of experimentation and professional work in Chicago, he moved to New York in 1935. Through the 1930s & 1940s Beall produced innovative & highly regarded work for clients including the Chicago Tribune, Sterling Engraving, The Art Directors Club of New York, Hiram Walker, Abbott Laboratories, & Time...& Collier’s ... His clear & concise use of typography was highly praised both in the United States & abroad. Throughout his career he used bold primary colours & illustrative arrows & lines in a graphic style that became easily recognisable as his own. He eventually moved to rural New York & set up an office, & home, at a premises that he & his family called "Dumbarton Farm".
