Advertising Calendar, "Richardson Texaco Station," 1968

01

Artifact Overview

Promotional giveaways, like this 1968 calendar from the Richardson Texaco Station, could remind patrons about the company and its services every day of the year. The owner of this calendar however found an additional use for this giveaway -- a notepad. The empty spaces are covered with penciled reminders of now uncertain meaning.
