Mar 15, 2022

The Trenton Free Public Library in Trenton, N.J. has started its very own zine series focused on points of interest from books found in their local history room. This mini-zine gives a brief synopsis of the R.C. Maxwell Advertising Company, one of the earliest outdoor advertising companies (you know, billboards). Billboards for Coca-Cola, electric light-up signs, and advertisements for the U.S. Food Administration, all over New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania in the 1900s. Humorous, short, and informative. –Tricia Ramos (Hey Ladies! R.C. Maxwell, trentonlib.org/zine-library)
