Employee Directory of 1950s-Era Cleveland Advertising Agency

Cleveland, Ohio: [circa 1950-1955].

Sold

Unbound. Octavo. Black leatherette three-ring binder with tabbed dividers and 103 pages each with tipped on photographs. Near fine with toning to the pages, glue stains and a few photos detached but those are present in an envelope at the rear. A new employee directory for the Fuller, Smith & Ross Advertising Agency of Cleveland, Ohio, one of the nation's top advertising agencies with clients that included Westinghouse and Alcoa. A pencil note on the first divider dates the album to the early to mid-1950s and credits the entries to Merrit Johnquest. Each page of the directory features a photograph of a new employee, along with a brief bio stating the person's career experience, education, and hobbies. The directory is organized alphabetically with additional, undivided entries at the back suggesting possibly that the employee has left the company. A charming artifact, although not for the fact that the women involved were large restricted to secretaries, typists, or research librarians.
