The period advertising was absolutely wonderful. I never get tired of looking at it. Many thanks Drew for posting a glimpse of the past. My grandfather owned a Lithography company in New York City and he and the artists he employed produced much beautiful advertising back in the day. As far as I know, he never produced sporting related work, but the government was a big client and he produced many of the "Uncle Sam Wants You" work. He lived and worked in the city during the week and then took the train to his Pawling, NY home every Friday night and returned Sunday nights. His children, including my mother, loved Pawling and grew up there. I grew up there too and fortunately the hunting and fishing in that area is still superb. I am now retired and in the process of moving back to the Pawling family home to hunt, fish and live the rest of my years.
