Dear Collector:

This is our 1973-1974 Catalog which we hope you will find useful, not only as a

catalog, but as a reference on the many items which comprise the interesting field

of Military Americana. We have added new sections on related items to augment

our standard lines in order to offer to you, the collector, a single source for all

your interests.

Our stock is constantly expanding and we encourage inquiries on items not contained

in this catalog. We can offer unique services to museums and other qualified organi-

zations. If you are planning a display or research program and are desirous of

obtaining items not generally available thru normal channels, please let us know,

and we will endeavor to obtain them for you.

pany, EPCO Publishing Company, 75-24 64th St., Glendale, New York 11227. EPCO
