Ads for cardboard from 1946-47
Very interesting, the P. C. Smith, Exhibit Supply Co. looking for cardboard, this shows just how much paper was in short supply. I refer you to post #63. "In 1947, paper was considered extremely scarce due to the aftermath of World War II."
But what I do find more interesting is in the last ad, they are looking for printers to print there two color post cards, asking for Letterpress Printers, it says they will furnish stock, ink and plates.
Letterpress Printers do not use plates. Offset Printers use plates, Offset press did print a lot of post cards in 1940s and up. I was in printing for 40 years, I started out in Letterpress printing. John.
