New Library Exhibit: April 2018 Promotional Items
The new JHS exhibit in the Jamestown Philomenian Library features promotional items used by Jamestown business. Advertisements were printed on ink blotters – given out in the early 20th century before the invention of ballpoint pens, matchbooks – the most popular handouts in the days of the ubiquitous cigarette, pens, pencils, and – the most recent craze – refrigerator magnets. Logos also emblazon baseball caps and t-shirts
