| Reproduction of a c.1890`s Poster printed in England (good details but difficult to see in this photo) (010) |

| I think this is a reproduction of the original poster. Because the ink is green and the paper is tan, it is difficult to see the good details of this illustration, which is a lady standing adjacent to a safety and an American Flag with the words `Columbia Bicycles` printed within the stripes. The text is, `The Best Wheel, It Runs Ahead of all Other Cycles for Lightness, Strength, Elegance, Pope Mfg. Co., Hartford, USA, European agents - Markt and Co., London, printed in England`. The dimensions are 15 x 20 1/2 inches. Photo 006 [Item# Columbia-010] | |

| BICYCLES NOW ON DUTY WITH MARINE AUXILIARY PERSONNEL-Columbia Bicycle Poster |
|---|
| This poster, produced for Columbia Bicycles (The Westfield Mfg. Co.), was distributed to retail bicycle stores during starting in 1944. Proprietors of bike shops hung these posters on the wall as decorations, advertising and support for the American war effort. The tag line of this poster is BICYCLES NOW ON DUTY WITH MARINE AUXILIARY PERSONNEL. Complete bicycles and the component parts thereof were difficult to obtain at the time because most of the American bicycle industry factories were using the majority of their capacity producing materials for the war effort. Bicycles were under the control of the government and were rationed. Our family bike shop in Minneapolis, MN was fortunate to be able to purchase a limited quantity of bikes and/or component parts. The dimensions are 17 x 22 inches. [Item# Poster-C.578c] | |
