Collecting Wallace Nutting Ads and Advertising Literature Memorabilia

Most people have heard about Wallace Nutting's hand-colored pictures... many people are aware of the nearly 20 books that Nutting authored... and an increasing number of collectors are developing an understanding about Nutting's bench-made reproduction furniture. But as the demand for each of these areas has increased over the past several years, and as the prices of certain Nutting items have moved beyond what some individuals are willing to pay, an increasing number of Nutting collectors have started searching out Wallace Nutting Memorabilia.

What constitutes Wallace Nutting Memorabilia? Quite simply, anything related to Wallace Nutting that is:

1) NOT a hand-colored or black & white platinotype picture

2) NOT one of the 20 different books that he published,

3) NOT his reproduction furniture...

...would be classified as Wallace Nutting Memorabilia.

Although most serious collectors will recognize Nutting Memorabilia when they see it, many are surprised at the wide variety of Nutting Memorabilia that is still readily available to collect. In this article we'll be discussing Wallace Nutting Ads and Advertising Literature.

OLD SALES LITERATURE, ADVERTISING, AND ARTICLES: One of the least expensive areas of Nutting Memorabilia is in the ephemera area, i.e., paper. Some examples include:

• Magazine Advertisements: Wallace Nutting frequently advertised his pictures, books, and furniture in various magazines, newspapers, and periodicals. For example, The Magazine Antiques regularly contained different ads for Nutting's bench-made furniture reproductions during the 1920's-30's. Many collectors have been gathering as many different advertisements as they can locate.

• Sales Literature: Over the years, Nutting frequently put together flyers and sales pieces promoting his pictures, books, furniture...and himself. Any advertising pieces promoting Nutting and his businesses are quite collectible.

• Advertising Signs: There are basically two types of signs. Glass Advertising Signs are quite rare because of their fragile nature. We have only sold a few of these over the years and they can command a very strong price if in good condition.

• Paper Advertising Signs: These typically either promoted his products, or announced Nutting's appearance at a specific time and location. Although not as expensive as Glass Signs, Paper Advertising Signs can still command a very good price with collectors.

• Articles About Wallace Nutting: Articles were appearing about Nutting quite early in his career, and continue appearing in different Newspapers, Trade Papers, Magazines, and Periodicals even as we speak. Many Nutting enthusiasts enjoy collecting as many different original articles as they can find. One Nutting collector has even published an extensive bibliography listing the date and source of every Nutting article he has been able to locate.

This article on Wallace Nutting Memorabilia covers just one of a wide variety of Nutting items that are currently being collected by collectors around the country. If I can leave you with this one thought, it would be this: "If it pertains to Wallace Nutting, it will be desirable to Nutting collectors."

No Advertising Campaign Is Complete Without Literature Holders

Literature holders are devices that allow for the display and distribution of publicity material that is used in any marketing, advertisement or information campaign. These come in many shapes and sizes to suit different sizes and locations as required by the advertiser.

These dispensers can be made from thin wire frames or plastic rods with some form of vinyl covering. The displays can be designed to be placed on the floor and stand about 6 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide. They consist of 5 short plastic rods that can be inter-joined with collars.

4 pieces join together to form a diagonal cross while the 5th piece joins at the center to form the stand. The canvas or vinyl that holds the pockets for the pamphlets is hooked to the corners of the cross to complete the publicity pamphlet holder.

These dispensers are also designed for desk and counter tops apart from floors and wall mounted models. The desk top models are usually made from plastic molded material and are not very large. They can hold a few hundred pamphlets st the most. The pamphlets these devices hold are usually 12 inches by 8 inches or smaller.

While many companies prefer to buy their own pamphlet dispensers some prefer to hire them from advertisement or event management professionals who are already in possession of hundreds of these indispensable dispensers.

These companies and professionals also have the required contacts, such as shops, malls, vendors and offices where the dispensers can be readily set up. This saves on the time it takes to set up pamphlet dispensers all over town. Just negotiate with such a professional and get your dispensers set up within a matter of hours. All you will have to do is hand over the printed material and let the campaign get on the way.

There are a extensive variety of Literature Holders available online and some excellent ones at Display Stands be sure to have a good look around before making a purchase.

Advertising in Literature

Retailers actively engaged in- and depended on- advertising to boost sales. Copywriter Claude Hopkins gave Americans a breakfast product "shot from guns" as well as conferring a new status on the importance of copywriting in developing a successful advertising campaign. By the 1920s, American public- and private- consciousness was saturated with advertising. Newspapers, magazines, transit ads, billboards, posters, and window displays proclaimed America's commercial and social progress. The age of mass production, mass selling, and mass advertising had arrived. And most Americans appeared to thrive on it. Broadway, "The Great White Way," attracted thousands of tourists, as did Hudson River steamboat excursions to Albany, during which passengers gazed at lighted billboards lining the riverbanks.

The most recent- and comprehensive- bibliographical source on advertising for scholars is Richard Pollay's "Information Sources in Advertising History". Pollay has dedicated himself to the proposition that advertising will be "a central focus in the history of the 20th century." The book opens with Pollay's plea to counter the advertising industry's almost insistently ephemeral self-image by urging historians to address advertising's importance in American business and culture as well as urging industry leaders to establish corporate archives and to encourage scholarly access to these materials. Extensive bibliographical essays follow- Julian Simon on economic data on advertising, Margaret A. Miller on professional data, Quentin J. Schultze on trade periodicals, and Pollay on types of literature available to historians. The remaining sections, gathered under such subject headings as histories, psychology, sociology, textbooks, and vocational guides, include brief but incisive bibliographical annotations and are completed by as detailed a listing as is available of advertising archives and special collections. A thorough index and a reliable system of cross-referencing make Pollay Information Sources in Advertising History an easy-to-use and indispensable reference tool.

Advertising, Sales and Marketing Literature Turned to Gold

The ancient art of alchemy has been revived. That is right, I said alchemy. It is now possible to turn your sales and marketing literature into gold, bronze, brass and about 600 other metallic colors. The amazing thing is you can do it yourself. It is pretty easy and quite affordable.

We all need that Wow Factor to stand out and separate us from our competitors. Imagine the possibilities of using colored metallic effects on your next card, flyer or brochure. Metallic colors added to your next full color advertising, sales or marketing project would certainly attract more attention.

Colored metallic inks are not new. Their limitation used to be that they only allowed you to use one selected color which was added to the full color process. It is required custom printing and was quite expensive. Wow Factor Colored Metallics is a unique process that allows you to make and use as many metallic colors as you like. You can use gold, silver, bronze, brass and other metallic reds, greens, blues and so on.Your only limitation by your ideas and good taste. Wow Factor Metallics is new and is now even available as a gang run printing service. That means there are regular scheduled print runs available to use this technique.

What are gang runs? Gang run printing combines common jobs to be run together at the same time on the same parent sheet of paper. You only pay for the portion of the sheet you use and everybody on the run shares the cost of the make ready on the press.The beauty of a gang run job is that the turnaround times are only 5 to 7 working days. Because the printer is using a state of the art prepress and large sheet fed printing presses, the colors are brilliant and quality is exquisite.

How do you make colored metallics? The process is elegantly simple. Using Photoshop, you select the color(s) you want to make metallic, create a simple mask for those colors and then let the printer do the rest. Specific instructions and free samples of this process with a partial color chart are available through a link online which you can find at the bottom of this article in the authors box.

Only a very few state of the art printing companies have the ability to use this process. This is new cutting edge technology that significantly raises the bar for the next generation of effective sales and marketing tools. Imagine the possibilities to help you get noticed and stand out from your competition.

Advertising, sales and marketing tools are essential to many small and medium sized businesses. If well planned and executed, they can level and even tip the playing field for you. In the past, creating and using special effects for cards, brochures and flyers was only for large companies with large budgets. Now even a small company can project itself as a leader in its field and gain greater market share and better branding by creating its own unique look separating itself from the pack. By adding a Wow Factor to the marketing of your company, you can make sure you and your company get noticed.

Advertising Literature Kept Neat With Well Designed Holders

It is necessary, for companies which want to promote some service or item, to have some kind of purpose built stand to show off the goods or to hold the promotional leaflets etc. These are sometimes available off the shelf, so to speak, but most times, the company can have literature holders and literature displays made up to their own design. Of course, it does tend to keep all the paraphernalia in one place too so this is an added bonus.

There are companies around which design and make this kind of thing. Very often, they will be able to print the whole thing up so that it is eye-catching for the interested party. The really cool thing about them though is that they are made flat, in most instances, so that the vendor can reassemble them when he is ready to put them out for the public to see.

In fact, there is a huge market for these kinds of goods. Supermarkets always have rows of special offers on display at their customer service desks, and places like libraries need them too so that people are made aware of what is going on in and around the vicinity too. Considering these two uses alone, one can see how many would have to be made to fill the demand countrywide.

Although most of these are die cut, that is, a pattern is made from metal and punched through the card to give the right shape, there is usually some hand finishing which has to be done. If the box is made from a flimsy material, and this will keep the cost down for sure, then strengthening legs or balance legs are normally stuck, by hand, onto the back. Of course, this is done in huge numbers too to keep the cost down but it is rather labor intensive.

For special discount deals, like a promotion for Easter perhaps, it is likely that the whole thing will be printed to show something evocative of that time of year. Easter eggs or chicks and bunnies are the favorites of course, but there are times when other designs are necessary too.

The printer or manufacturer normally has a design team to fulfill the needs of the client and they usually work closely together to get just the right design or wording printed on the box. Mistakes here are costly so the customer is normally given a proof to see before the printing process takes place. He will be required to sign it too so that there are no recriminations later.

The more colors that are used in these designs, the more expensive each unit will be. Most people do not realize that each color needs another print run and this is what pushes up the price. However, clever designers will use colored card as one color so that the customer will be able to keep some costs to a minimum.

By buying in bulk, the cost per unit is also kept down and most companies will do a nationwide campaign so that each individual outlet takes part of the cost upon itself.

Stewart Wrighter recently purchased several literature holders to set up at the school where his baseball team was conducting a fundraiser. His wife set up several literature displays throughout the local community to promote the high school play.
