[SEL] More ads

[Ken Christison]

Hi George,

I do plan on making an index page, perhaps linking to individual pages 
of each company
with ads from different years if the ads are indeed different.

I am not scanning these.  They are available for download at Google 
books.  I am going
through each volume, saving each page with ads  in photoshop and then 
cropping out each
ad from there.  I have downloaded all the volumes of Gas Power, The 
American Blacksmith
and Modern Machinery up to the '20s that are available as full view.  
There are several others
that have come up when searching for specific engine names that I have 
downloaded, but I
haven't gone through to see how much engine content is there.

Perhaps after I have depleted what I have downloaded, folks can see what 
I have and will
be able to see if they have anything new to add, and send to me to include.

Thanks for suggesting this.  Perhaps one of these days we can rival Alan 
King's work, with
the advantage of easily printing out any one we care to.

Take care.

Ken
