I remember years ago seeing one of those handouts stores gave promoting a the Standard Talking Machine when you bought enough merchandise from that store. I know the Standard and a number of other machines were created for such campaigns.
I was wondering if anyone on the forum has any of the literature (broadsides, etc) associated with such programs? It would be interesting to see.

I found the fuzzy photo I mentioned. I don't remember where I saw it. Does anyone out there have this kind of thing?

Here's a page from Antique Phonograph Advertising showing these flyers in use at the time.

Re: Literature for the Standard Talking Machine
Thanks, George! I have several of your books, but not the one on advertising. That's an interesting picture! Is that or a similar poster reproduced in the book, or can I purchase a good copy of the poster? I wanted to frame one next to my Standards.

By "good copy" I mean a reproduction or a scan.

Here are some scans you might find interesting. I'll dig out the Outlet Clothing House flyer and scan that one too.
