Oh settle down Francine! Haha... I'm sure the "gents" included you as well!

Though I paid for it like 3 days ago and it shows shipped... it's still advertised? Maybe she had more than one?
Speaking of these old ads.. I just bought 7, 11X14 frames with glass and backing for $39 shipped! These old ads are going to look decent in them.. .and I can always paint them if I want. Though I took the last of them I think.
P.S. I'm getting tired of word verification every other post it seems.
I've helped add some of our current ads.... where I've found most of them is older department store catalogs.
Sears, Montgomery Wards, Alden's, Spiegel's are the ones to look in for the majority. Now there are some other ones... early Barnum and Bailey's Circus programs have some.
Saturday Evening Post's from about 1924-1930 have some very nice ones you can see on the site. They're almost deco works of art themselves!

If I could spare the cash I'd give this site a try, only $10 for a life time....all scans of vintage catalogs of all sorts, not sure if you can dl them or not but I would assume as much as the membership is on the bay as well, no sense in being a member if you cant actually 'have' the material.

Is all good man... I did the same as you a few months ago... and have been brainstorming on ads since! heh.. Also I looked at the Library of Congress website long ago... they don't have catalogs online.
Also... Sears has been talking about putting their catalogs online... but haven't yet.
