Old-Time Advertisements: Of The Flathead Valley, Montana 1880s-1920s
Astoundingly Amazing!
Bonafide Beguiling!
Contagiously Crafty!
A keepsake collection of advertisements - in their actual form - as published in long-forgotten newspapers of the Flathead Valley of Montana, such as The Flathead Herald-Journal, The Kalispell Graphic, The Lakeshore Sentinel, and more.
Historian Jaix Chaix and designer Paul Alvord have pored over thousands of newspaper ads from the 1890s through the 1920s for a glimpse of the "rhyme and rhetoric" and "gags and gimmicks" of ads of a bygone era.
Beyond nostalgia, this collection also reveals a fascinating history of the Flathead Valley of Montana from the erstwhile purveyors of goods and merchandise, to once-necessary services such as blacksmithing and draying, to the revolutionary advancements of electricity and the automobile. The ads also depict how typography and typesetting and styles of newspaper advertising evolved from the handiwork of the "pioneer days" to the era of "modern mechanization."
This curio of old-time, printed persuasion can put "old things" in a "new light" each time you browse through it...

About the author
J.C. Chaix
5 books7 followersDr. JC Chaix is an editor and educator (and an expert in strategic media concerning propaganda, and media hoaxes).

The dissertation is available at: https://digitalcommons.liberty.edu/do...
