Skelly Oil Promotional Needle Book, 1950-1965
01
Artifact Overview
Promotional giveaways can place advertising messages deeper into people's lives than billboards or magazine ads. Skelly Oil handed out this needle book (a case to hold and store needles) to customers. Users saw the Skelly logo and were reminded of Skelly petroleum products every time they darned a sock, patched at pair of pants or repaired a torn shirt.
