“This famous five-foot Shelf University,” is the theme of this 1942 original vintage advertisement for Dr. Eliot’s Five-Foot Shelf of Books. It features Harvard Classics and was advertised to “provide the broad foundation for every man’s education and success in life.” It was sold by P.F. Collier & Son Corp.

The ad is on a 10x14 page and is in b&w. It is in very good and collectible condition.

Vintage advertisements and articles are becoming more and more collectible for their nostalgia look and unique eye-appeal. They also are suitable for framing and are becoming more scarce as the supply of vintage paper products continues to decrease.
