Fan Advertising Harland Sanders Court & Cafe, Corbin, Kentucky, circa 1950
01
Artifact Overview
In 1930, Harland Sanders began serving chicken dishes out of a service station in Corbin, Kentucky. "Colonel" Sanders had a flair for promotion. In the 1950s--about the time this advertising fan was produced--he actively franchised his chicken business and sold the recipe for his "Special Recipe" fried chicken. A stylized graphic of his face is still a trademark of the corporation.
