One of many advertising and publciity leaflets issued in conjunction with the New York World's Fair of 1939 is this for Birds Eye Frosted Foods declaring the products the food of tomorrow, indeed "a fairy tale - a dream of tomorrow" available today. Powerful stuff and interestingly showing an already very wide range of product lines available under the brand.
The origins of the company go back to Clarence Frank Birdseye, a food scientist based in the US who developed processed for the greatly improved freezing of fish products. he formed his original company in 1922. In 1929 he sold out to a combine that was to become the massive General Foods of whom the Birds Eye Frozen Food Company was a subsidiary. As can be seen the range of foods that were successfully forzen so as to allow storage, transportation and, defrosted, used grew.
The market for frozen "convienience" foods was simply based on both retailers who had freezers to sell the products and consumers who had freezers to allow for storage of them frozen. The US, even in the 1930s, appears to have had a greater percentage of households with such equipment - the market in the UK was later in developing post-war as consumer uptake of fridge and freezers finally took off. Indeed it appears that the UK subsidiary was the one that developed the coated fish finger that many associate with the brand name that is still used, albeit the righst being owned by multlple companies world-wide.
Another night on the town. But unlike everyone else it seems, I'm not seeking a good time. This spot right here, this is my place of work for the next 3 hours. I wish I was more than this. I just want to go home...

Thank you for looking! =)
On the way back home once again, I saw a hood and a pair of eyes inside. That beautiful girl was handing out leaflets in Bournemouth Square. A few seconds later, I decided I absolutely had to make her portrait and went to ask her. My heart was beating so fast. She accepted.
An undated but probably mid-1930s timetable leaflet for the Scottish Motor Traction company's winter daily express motor coach service between London and Edinburgh and return. The leaflet, valid from October to June, notes that it is the 'only non-stop' express service between London and Scotland' although a comfort break of a few minutes is made both northbound at Grantham and Greenlaw, and southbound at Greenlaw and Darlington. On a journey of some fifteen hours, over night in winter, a decent bladder was obviously required! The route is through the Borders, inland, and then down the old A1 passing through towns that had yet to be by-passed let alone formed into a 'motorway'.
The text also notes that the SMT's regular bus services and connections cover all of Scotland and notes the inter-availablity of tickets on the subsidiary Western SMT's London - Glasgow service, albeit with an additional fare of 3s.3d. on a 'normal' bus! the coach fares are quoted at 30/- (£1.50) single and 50/- (£2.50) return.
The graphics on the cover are rather fine, simple and straightforward with Edinburgh Castle and the Westminster skyline doing duty. The company's London address is still at Grand Buildings before the move to the longstanding SMT, and latterly Scottish Bus Group, offices at Regent St. The map on the rear page also has the famous SMT 'diamond' logo used for many years.
Scan of a printed brochure for the Golf GTi (8v and 16v) from January 1991. It's a simple 4 page, A4 size leaflet.
This is a double-page spread from the inside.
Front cover of a brochure published by "TWA (Transcontinental and Western Air, Inc.) and GCA (Grand Canyon Air Lines, Inc.). Effective July 20th, 1935."
From the inside pages of the brochure: "In luxurious comfort and with unequalled speed of the TWA Douglas Skyliners, the passengers of 'The Lindbergh Line' are afforded an opportunity to visit the land of fascinating wonders, gorgeous spectacles, and kaleidoscopic panorama in flight through the Great Southwest.... At Winslow [Arizona], passengers directly connect with the comfortable trimotor planes of the Grand Canyon Airlines, Inc., making a one-hour flight to Grand Canyon Airport in the Kaibab National Forest near the south rim of the Grand Canyon."
One of series of over 30 "Guides to Good Building" MoW advisory leaflets that appear to have been issued in the early 1950s. They were issued at "approximately monthly intervals" and were produced and sold through HMSO.
This, No.25 on 'Painting Woodwork' has another simple but effective cover of massed, overlapping paint tins or cans. This cover actually has a designer credited - Judge.
Shinei catalogue leaflet, supplied with 4615 Kenworth articulated van. This is a long thin folded strip, but I scanned sections so both sides could appear like this.
Designer and illustrator Ronald Maddox worked extensively for the Post Office and Royal Mail, designing stamps, stamp book covers, first day covers, presentation packs, posters and charts. After studying at London College of Printing and Graphic Art, and Regents Street Polytechnic School of Art, Ronald Maddox joined the RAF for National Service as a Designer/Artist in the Air Ministry Design Unit. He then worked as a freelance artist, designer, consultant and illustrator. The idea behind 'credit cards' was simple-ish. You appled for a card with a special code and then, from home or overseas, you called the operator and quoted the code so as to allow the cost of the call to be billed to your own account back home.
This is a Leyland publicity leaflet for the Leyland B15, what was to become the Titan TN15. Here it is posing as a London Transport vehicle, announcing itself as 'London's Bus of Tomorrow' This bus also graced the 1976 Commercial Motor, and later passed to Fishwicks of Leyland.
206 was one of four of the batch, (the others were 202, 207 & 215) that were displayed on Castle Street, Edinburgh, during a public launch between 11.00 am and 3.00 pm on Saturday 10 September 2011. ADL badges were added to front dash panels for the launch but they were removed before entering service.
The batch comprised 201 - 215 (SN11 EES, HY61 BUS, LB61 HYB, LB61 BUS, SN61 BBF, SN61 BBJ, SN61 BBK, SN61 BBO, SN61 BBU, SN61 BBV, SN61 BBX, SN61 BBZ, SN61 BCE, SN61 BCF & SN61 BCK). They were delivered in a Radiance Red and Winter Gold variant of the swoop livery.
All had ecoLothianbuses.com fleet names when new. Engine covers carried - "This bus is different….. ecoLothianbuses.com" lettering. No external adverts were carried initially as groups of three buses were adorned toward the rear of the upper deck side panelling with five separate legends - "be ahead", 201 - 203, "be bold" 204 - 206, "be smart" 207 - 209, "be different" 210 - 212, and "be daring" 213 -215. Internally posters promoted the virtues of the hybrid technology including diagrams illustrating how the vehicles were powered.
These hybrid buses, which were powered by electric motors using battery power, with the charge coming from using a much smaller diesel engine and regenerative braking as the bus slowed down, were allocated to service 10 Torphin to Western Harbour. They were introduce to service from Sunday 11 September 2011. Lothian Buses timetable and promotional leaflet for the service referred to new state of the art, environmentally friendly buses …. The new hybrid buses run more efficiently, saving significant amounts of carbon exhaust emissions… at least three times smaller than a typical car. Since the engine wasn’t driving the bus directly, there was less sound compared to an ordinary bus. The completely new driveline, which didn’t use a gearbox, meant that speeding up and slowing down was much smoother. New features on the executive standard buses, which were smoother, quieter and less polluting, also included next bus stop announcements, free on board Wi-Fi. Decals positioned adjacent to the entrance door referred to the Scottish Government having assisted funding these buses.
From circa 2017, following battery failures, a programme was instituted to convert all fifteen buses to diesel power. It is believed the conversion work was carried out by East Yorkshire Motor Services.

The local elections are hotting up. Found this leaflet through Mr M's letterbox and this candidate definitely impresses! Gillian is certainly getting Mr M's vote!
A window opened, and 50-100 leaflets fell from the sky Oct. 26 outside the Occupy Chicago protest at the Chicago Board of Trade, showering protesters.
Here's what the leaflet said, copied word for word including paragraph breaks:
"We are Wall Street. It's our job to make money. Whether it's a commodity, stock, bond, or some hypothetical piece of fake paper, it doesn't matter. We would trade baseball cards if it were profitable. I didn't hear America complaining when the market was roaring to 14,000 and everyone's 401k double every 3 years. Just like gambling, its not a problem until you lose. I've never heard of anyone going to Gambler Anonymous because they won too much in Vegas.
Well now the market crapped out, & even though it has come back somewhat, the government and the average Joes are still looking for a scapegoat. God knows there has to be one for everything. Well, here we are.
Go ahead and continue to take us down, but you're only going to hurt yourselves. What's going to happen when we can't find jobs on the Street anymore? Guess what: We're going to take yours. We get up at 5am & work till 10pm or later. We're used to not getting up to pee when we have a position. We don't take an hour or more for a lunch break. We don't demand a union. We don't retire at 50 with a pension. We eat what we kill, and when the only thing left to eat is on your dinner plates, we'll eat that.
For years teachers and other unionized labor have had us fooled. We were too busy working to notice. Do you really think that we are incapable of teaching 3rd graders and doing landscaping? We're going to take your cushy jobs with tenure and 4 months off a year and whine just like you that we are so-o-o-o underpaid for building the youth of American. Say goodbye to your overtime and double time and a half. I'll be hitting grounder to the high school baseball team for $5k extra a summer, thank you very much. So now that we're going to be making $85k a year without upside, Joe Mainstreet is going to have his revenge, right? Wrong! Guess what: we're going to stop buying the new 80k car, we aren't going to leave the 35 percent top at our business dinners anymore. No more free rides on our backs. We're going to landscape our own back yards, wash our cars with a garden hose in our driveways. Our was was your money. You spent it. When our money dries up, so does yours.
The difference is, you lived off of it, we rejoiced in it. The Obama administration and the Democratic National Committee might get their way and knock us off the tops of the pyramid, but it's really going to hurt like hell for them when our fat a**es and directly on the middle class of America and knock them to the bottom.
We aren't dinosaurs. We are smarter and more vicious than that, and we are going to survive. The question is, now that Obama & his administration are making Joe Mainstreet our food supply...will he? and will they?"
Ja, blaue Phase. Und der Photoshop-Spieltrieb!
Das "Gemüse" ist übrigens eine Physalis-Hülle.
Ein schönes Wochenende wünsche ich Euch allen!

The 'look and feel' of this leaflet is very different to others (see www.flickr.com/photos/pdeaves/28085783234/in/album-721576...). Associated first class lounge notice here: www.flickr.com/photos/pdeaves/30358518071/in/album-721576...
