Minneapolis School Supply Company Catalog, 1927

With fall just around the corner, many parents and teachers are busy buying school supplies. If you were a teacher in 1927, this Minneapolis School Supply Company catalog from our Trade Catalog Collection could have come in handy. The catalog lists everything from desks and blackboards to paste and pencils. Some of the items -- like Ticonderoga pencils and Crayola crayons -- might still be on school shopping lists this year.

This is probably not what the catalog designer intended.

You ever score so many catalogs that your vehicle gets better traction on the icy North Dakota roads when it’s -7°F out? Me too!

Catalogs

It's the time of year when the holiday food catalogs start arriving in the mail or in online adverts. I love looking at these...rum cake, stollen, petit fours, jam cookies, gleaming fruits in baskets, jams and jellies, exotic cheeses and crackers, panettone, fruitcakes, salted nuts, tea and cocoa, syrups, chocolate advent calendars, marzipan, nut brittles, etc. I know they're ridiculously overpriced, but how I want to order some!
