    Description

    1899 Banning Co. Avalon CA Santa Catalina Island Mountain & Sea Resort Print Ad
    This
    Banning’s Company
    advertisement is the ORIGINAL - not a copy - and comes to you straight out of the actual publication where it appeared back in 1899. The ad ­is for
    Santa Catalina
    (“A Magic Island”)
    and lists some of the highlights, including the Hotel Metropole, the Marine Gardens with the glass-bottom boats, the Rod and Reel Tournament of the Tuna Club, the best Golf Links, etc.
    It would make an interesting (and fun!) conversation piece framed and displayed in your home or office. You could add it to your current collection, put it on display next to other related items, or use it as a reference source for historical research, restoration work, etc. (and would make a PERFECT GIFT for you-know-who!).
    The ad size is approximately 5 x 4 inches and looks much better than this scan (plus, it’s not clipped - you get the whole 6 x 9-inch page). The paper is clean, and free of rips, tears, creases, stains, and mildew. What you see here is the actual, original ad you will receive (without the AdZooks watermark, of course). The ad will be carefully packed using a plastic sleeve with a cardboard backer and shipped
    flat
    (not rolled!) to ensure that this treasure arrives at its new home in excellent condition.
    FREE SHIPPING
    anywhere in the United States using USPS First Class Mail (International shipping cost varies by buyer location).
