My company makes these
Hi All,
I just thought you'd like to know that my company, The Marlin Company, publishes these ICNs (Illustrated Current News) and has continuously since 1913, in fact, we're now celebrating our 100th anniversary.
These pieces were originally sold in sets of 3 per week for 35 cents per week, delivered. Subscribers would post them in their retail store windows to attract people into their store.
Then in the 1940's, they were used to attract attention to safety posters within the Marlin Firearms company. That eventually led to a spin off of The Marlin Company which still publishes them today, mostly in digital format, for workplace communications purposes.
So there you go.
