Dodge "Job Rated" clipboard

[iowa51]

Found this in a box of stuff. Approximately 3" X 5 1/2".

 

I grew up/live in Mason City but have never heard of Hart Motors, with the 3 digit phone number way before my time. The address is now a parking lot.

Glad you posted that! I used to have one identical but advertising a dealer in West Virginia. In a weak moment I threw it on eBay. Looking back, I'd rather have had the clipboard vs the cash.

I have similar one I bought off e-pay.

I too have one I bought off eBay. Makes me wonder if one of us has your old one.....

Odd - me too!  I guess we just keep selling them to each other!

   There is one now for sale on eBay. I just happened to have an original, made 12/22/22. Didn’t cost a cent. Rick D.

I got mine off of ebay years ago.  I doubt the phone number on the label is valid anymore

I also posted this on the local "Remember when" local historical page.

 

Pre 1957 as this was when the local phone numbers changed to 7 digits.

 

Building next to this address (124 N. Delaware) was a new car dealership and is still standing, though not as a car dealership. The person commenting said this was a Dodge dealership. Never notice this building as an old multiple story car dealership, but driving by I can now see the resemblance to other old downtown buildings that I know, at one time, were dealerships.

This was posted on the other site. 

 

The building has been divided up into several business, maybe the whole building as a single business was 120 N. Delaware?

I finally found one at a ?reasonable? price for the condition.

 

Did not come with the note pad, so I made my own.

How did you make the notepad?

I created the artwork in a CorelDraw and printed all the pages.

Used a DIY padding compound, consisting of Water, Unflavored

Gelatin, White Wine Vinegar and Glycerin.

Clamped it all together with a cardboard back board, painted the

padding gel on each end and had the local print shop use their

ancient cutter to trim to size.

 

This was the 'expendable' first page....

 

Did a total of twenty, 18 are on eBay (shameless self promotion)  ?
