For advertising collectors, this piece is hard to top. This oversize book contains the original advertising slicks for Wilson athletic equipment in 1928. These slicks include ads generated for Wilson golf balls, golf bags, and its famous Walker Cup line of clubs. They were intended for sporting good stores to use for their print ads. Many of Wilson's 1928 advertisements have likely been lost over time, but this book contains their internal record of mint condition color ads. Simply put, it's a thing of beauty. The book - "Dominant Advertising" measures 12" x 14 1/2" .
