Reply to "store catalog pages redux"

Overland Flyer,

I guess one thing to add is that the store advertising is generally based on artwork that is supplied by the manufacturer, so your 1923 advertisement that primarily shows 1922 equipment would not be unusual, as American Flyer often re-used its artwork in later years and simply changed the descriptions, if needed.

Finding an advertisement that is based on artwork not supplied by the factory is more interesting.  The advertisement below is from a Chicago newspaper and is c. 1917.  I have been told that this advertisement is not based on American Flyer supplied artwork and would have been created by either the newspaper or the retailer.
