Yesterday, we had a wonderful surprise. Animation Resources supporter Kent Butterworth stopped by lugging eight huge bound volumes under his arm. They were library copies of Colliers magazine from the late 1940s and early 1950s. He allowed us to digitize them so everyone can browse the amazing illustrations and cartoons. Thanks, Kent!
Here are a few images from the June 5th, 1948 issue… Check out the amazing illustrations for mundane products like outboard motors and golf balls! Magazines today can’t compare.
Here’s a batch of advertisements from the mid-1930s Colliers magazines loaned to us for digitization by archive supporter Mike Fontinelli. I don’t know about you, but after looking over these great magazines, I have the urge to go out and buy a 1936 Terraplane!
