1926-‘27 Western Auto Catalog.

Post by jiminbartow » Mon Feb 12, 2024 10:12 am

Well, I got my 1926-‘27 Western Auto Supply Catalog. It has some amazing items crammed into its’128 pages at some incredibly low prices (low for today). Rather than posting random pages in trying to anticipate what you’d like to see, I am taking requests on items you’d like me to look up and post pictures of the pages of items you are interested in. Since I am working all day maintaining my properties, I will log onto the forum tonight and post your requests until there are no more. Jim Patrick

It does not speak well of the postal system, but calls into question your age and then again is quite a statement about your Patience!
It would be great to flip through the pages, you should scan a page a day and post it here in your free time.

I'm looking forward to seeing whatever you chose to show. Those period illustrations are priceless.

When did I do that?

I got the one I have from a retired T owner years ago. I guess Western Auto had different versions of them.

Anyone who wants a closer picture, I think I can edit and post a single page which you might be able to read the copy. Let me know what page you are interested in or the subject of the page.

Thanks too Jim

Page 17 with the auto jacks shows the two styles supplied with the Ford.

The junior screw jack is the typical one, used ‘13 to ‘25

The other is the flip top pressed all steel with separate handle, used on the Improved Ford, with balloon tires, note the copy states for Ford car.
