I meant to do this post two weeks ago - but things just got away from me, so here we are now!!
A few days before I flitzed off on vacation I spent a really nice, leisurely day flipping through this lovely book!!
I took a few photos of some of my favorite images, but stopped mid way through - it was getting to be too many pictures!!! The bulk of them are on my flickr and I know, I know - the image quality is somewhat horrific. Someday I'll have it properly scanned - but in the mean time, here's a nice little sneak!!

oh! i like them all, especially the spirit of youth!
ah! These are all so, so good! I'm especially fond of the crazy cat, long chewing gum, and aeroplane! xx
How fun! I love logos, and these are reeeally gems. Amazing.
These would make fantastic tee shirts, printed on unbleached natural cotton. Tres coolio!
these are so cool! what a fun find!
I love the long chew gum! I really want a book like that.
Thanks for posting these, I'm always inspired by old signage, logos and fonts. May I ask what book these are from?
these are heaven sent.
Win!
Great post. great blog. I'm liking the first picture a lot!
Those are neat! Thanks for posting them!
All these awesome logos remind me of a 1920's Coca Cola ad in Petaluma (about 45 minutes north of San Francisco). It's painted on the back of a 19th Century ironfront.
I love those! I think my favorite is the giraffe, close second, Manhattan Maids. Can't wait to see more!

Fabulous !
I can't decide which one is my favorite! And I'm also dying to find out what kind of products Crazy Cat Puzzles put out!
I saw this and it reminded me of these neat vintage ads I found in my granny's old drawing books. I think you will like these!

Hey there. I've been doing some inspiration research for a branding project and would LOVE to know the name of that book you have!
