Membership Series, 1910-1987

Scope and content:

The series includes application forms, files and correspondence on dues, memoranda to members, and membership records. The membership files are incomplete; however, it is possible in some cases to trace some aspects of an advertising company's history through the membership records, as these list not only the key officers of the company, but also changes in ownership and the sizes of the market covered by the company.

Arranged alphabetically by topic. Letter size folders are followed by legal size folders in two runs.

[NOTE: Some large materials have been removed to the Oversize Materials Series. A Listing may be found at the end of this container list.]
