Pair of vintage American wall calendars featuring outstanding advertising ephemera and patriotic Bicentennial artwork. Included: 1. Rare 1961 Lambert Lumber Co. advertising calendar Issued by Lambert Lumber Co. of Yale, Oklahoma — “Your Building Materials Super Market.” This humorous corporate promotional calendar presents staged black and white photographs satirizing the company’s “modern facilities” and “efficient operations,” introduced by a tongue-in-cheek management letter titled Annual Report.
