A Historic Find!
|
|
Recently a friend gave me a marketing piece from 1912. He found this in his grandfathers things and it's a bit of industry history. Being the marketing madman that I am, I was very intrigued by what it represented...but then again, it doesn't take much to get me excited.
See below for the article with a link to scans of each element of this promotional mailing. In the full size image, you will see that this has a 1 CENT stamp.

Will This Industry Last?
Here is an Advertising Novelty Ad from 1912It's Pretty Interesting!
|
|
A good friend gifted me with a rare historical find.
Going through his late grandfathers "stuff" he came across a solicitation from The Oakland Advertising Company located in Akron, Ohio mailed December 3, 1912. This company offered a "full line of advertising novelties, calendars, rubber novelties, etc". Holding this piece of history in my hand reminded me of how long custom imprinted products have been around!
On the solicitation piece, which was actually typed on two-color letterhead, a variety of products were featured: Toy or Advertising Balloons - Price 10¢. Baggage check - Price 25¢, Yellow Enamel Paperweight - Price 25¢. When I sat down to type this I realized today's keyboards don't have cent signs keys anymore!
