Gone to Smash!
Intense Interest Aroused!
A Curio of Printed Persuasion...
his book is a keepsake collection of advertisements – in their actual form – as published in long-forgotten newspapers such as The Flat- head Herald-Journal, The Kalispell Graphic, The Flathead County News, and The Kalispell Bee.
Historian Jaix Chaix and designer Paul Alvord have pored over thou- sands of newspaper ads from the 1890s through the 1920s for a glimpse of the “rhyme and rhetoric” and “gags and gimmicks” of newspaper 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 black- smithing and draying, to the revolutionary advancements of electrici- ty 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...
