70s POSTER, NOT SURE OF THE YEAR

14x22 6 ply cardstock, never displayed, no pin holes or tape. the paper is very strong,

The promoter or performer had a contract with Colorcraft to print posters. This is a stock poster that venues, promoter or performer would order and add the dates and times of the show or have Colorcraft add the information. This one has had the dates added by Colorcraft and was kept for their personal collection. PRINTER'S COPY, ONE OF A KIND

I have invoices and order blanks and it seems that 300 of a poster is what most venues ordered in big cities like Austin Denver Tulsa etc. A minimum order of 50 was very common. That may give a person an idea on how many posters were originally printed with dates and times printed on them.





  • I have been contacted by the original owner's Son and Granddaughter and they have passed along this info to me. I very much appreciate it. Robert Curran and Harold Braucht rented a little space at the Oklahoma Publishing Co in the corner of a room in 1933 with one roller press. Robert was in charge of the art & production, and Harold was the sales and promotion guy. The early posters had the art drawn on wood, for each color and the wood carved away to elevate the printing surface. They then used block letter type faces to complete the layout. As the business grew they moved into a couple of locations on their own, and purchased more presses from a firm in Chicago.Those huge presses were so loud, almost all of the printers had hearing problems later in life.
    They were early users of lithography printing, making their own plates and photographic work. They pretty much stayed with entertainment printing. Circuses, and Amusement attractions. They did print a world war 2 bond poster, with the Minute Man and the Pioneer Woman statue on it. One may still be hanging in the state capital.
    They did snipe printing for the Clyde Beatty Circus, and Barnum & Bailey Circus. To save the cost of shipping paper, sent the plates to a little shop they established in Lodi Ca.
    During WW2, they enticed one of the Carnivals to set up in downtown Okla. City near the Civic Center to entertain the military men stations at Will Rogers, and Navy men from Norman. Later they booked Broadway show touring company's in Okla. City, bought a movie theatre

    I am an honest businessman, I put my name address and phone number on every auction since I joined Ebay in 1997, I have been that accessible since 1980 when I opened as a retail business,
    Ebay now requires me to add the following statement before my contact information. It has taken me over 100 hours to add it to all my items. They will not tell me why it needs to be added. However, I think that an honest business should have an accessible way to be contacted by mail, phone, email or a knock on the door :-) They feel they must protect someone by having me say
