"Switch to Dodge and Save Money!" Bank, circa 1935
01
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. This 1930s bank may have reminded Dodge customers, or perhaps their children -- future customers -- about the brand's economy.
