Advertisements, 1928-1956
Scope and Contents
This collection consists of three items from the Kalamazoo Railway Supply Company. All three of the items are advertisements from the company. One of the single page advertisements is printed on both sides of the paper, detailing information regarding a railway chassis for a Ford Model A car. This advertisement is printed in black and white on lightweight glossy paper and gives information about local retailers for the Railway Supply Company in Kalamazoo. The other single page has a large photograph of the “Kalamazoo ‘60’ Inspection Car” printed in black and white on a thin paper. The booklet was printed in 1956 in full color on lightweight glossy paper. The advertisements are believed to range in date from 1928-1956. Two of the advertisements list the company as “Kalamazoo Railway Supply Co.” which would have been the company’s name from 1901 to at least 1957, as the advertisement booklet is dated as being from 1956.
