14 Inspiring Vintage Logos and Advertisements from 1888

So sorry I have been remiss in posting. A lot of not so good stuff happening in my life right now. Anyway, when I run across some truly vintage ads I try to remember where they are and get back to them at some point. Today was such a day. Boy did I find some amazing ads from 1888 in The Railroad, Telegraph, Steamship, Electric and Heat, Light and Power Companies Directory. These are truly vintage. I find it hard to believe that the truly heavy-duty equipment companies were putting out such detailed and beautiful ads. Enjoy!
