Weekend Onesie: Bill Jones - Part 6

Weekend Onesie: 

Bill Jones

Part 6

People who check in on this blog on a regular basis know that I am a huge fan of vintage graphics. Some of the finest? From corporations looking to motivate their employees. I adore their big, broad use of color and presentation of iconic ideals, characters and images.

During the 1920s, a number of American companies produced motivational posters and cards to promote industrial efficiency and ethical behavior in the workplace. Motivational sayings were combined with high quality illustrations to provide easily readable images to convey the messages. During this time, Parker-Holladay Company, a British firm, was also producing motivational posters, featuring the fictional character Bill Jones. 

Here's more!

And there are a lot of them.

 

Simple and direct...

These graphics have become iconic.

And part of history.

Friday Fun: May Is National Military Appreciation Month

Friday Fun: 

May Is National 

Military Appreciation Month

Gee...

I would love to appreciate the military. 

I would love to appreciate the military the way they appear to appreciate each other.

Yes, I'd salute these boys... and something tells me they'd immediately stand at attention!

Here's hoping.

Hoping I get a chance to show my appreciation.

Maybe on my knees.

Or my back.

Gee... 

I now have a new appreciation for the men in uniform.

P.S. Line forms at the rear...

Yes, I would do my duty.

For my country.

Military service? It would be an honor!
