    L.C. Smith Ads Archived Message

    There a lot more WWII ads. The ones we chose for the FAQs are small, one column ads that fit best on those pages. I thought that the "dog" ads were interesting and included all that I have. Some of the other WWII ads are 1/2 to 3/4 of a page and feature German aircraft while discussing what the company is doing to help fight the war. Another shows the 20 mm Oerlikon 20 anti-aircraft gun that eventually helped to bankrupt the company.

    Thanks to Pat McKune, I have about 100 ads from 1900 to 1950. One of my goals is to scan them all and place them on a separate page on the website. I hope to be able to complete it sometime this fall.

    Jim
