Large 1948 full-page ad for Congoleum Flooring (14 ¾ x 10 ¼ )
Title- “Put down a sparkling bright Gold Seal Congoleum rug!”- the ad shows a rather grotesque 1940s kitchen with a red ceiling and a Congoleum floor.
Vintage magazine ads offer a fascinating glimpse of real-life history, an archive of what advertisers thought the world wanted. Ready to frame, matte or laminate, these authentic classic ads can add to the unique decor of your home, business or showroom. My ads are authentic, and carefully cropped from original publications. See our webpage at .
History- Congoleum traces its origins back to Kirkcaldy, Scotland, where Michael Nairn expanded his family’s successful sailcloth business into the manufacturing of painted floor cloths. Vinyl plastic floor covering was first presented to the public at the Chicago World’s Fair. During the war, government and private research efforts proved vinyl plastic to be a viable material.
Congoleum is supposedly named for the fact that the asphalt used as a saturate in the material came from the African Congo.
Condition- This ad is in excellent condition with a couple of small tearsinthe right edge. The ad is sold untrimmed and unmatted.
This item can be picked up in Porters Lake. See the link to my other ads in the upper right corner for more great ads, magazines, and books. I have several other ads that are not yet listed. Let me know if you’re looking for a specific subject pany.
