Artifact Overview

Promotional giveaways can place advertising messages deeper into people's lives than billboards or magazine ads. The power of branding -- coupled with consumer brand loyalty -- has also led to the creation of promotional items designed for sale to the public. The front of this 1960s postcard for the Simca 1000, a Chrysler import, provides visual advertising. The back contains more detailed information.
