[SEL] Engines at State Archives/Thanks

[William J Pfeiffer Sr]

You know Arnie, I think these actually look more like "shot" glasses, rather than regular glasses.
 
Really neat pictures.
 
Helen, the one with the John Deere on the Coke bottles was an advertising campaign to show how "smoothly" the JD ran.  I will try and locate the original ad I got off of eBay a while back.  My Dad had said it only worked with the small 8 OZ bottles because they were stronger glass.
 
All of these are really neat, and you sure don't see this kind of ingenuity in today's "slick" advertising.
 
Thanks to everyone for sharing these great photos.
