I took a chance on eBay and bought a 1949 issue of the Goodyear’s Magazine for Men off of ebay that mentioned, in the ebay ad, about having an article on a Jeep Posse. The magazine turned out to be a sort-of marketing piece by Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company focused on men and with several interesting articles. Below you’ll find two articles from the magazine and a quiz.
The first article is a pretty early article on Utah’s Bountiful Jeep Posse. The other article covers a man named John Fordon and his business in New York City called “Beck ‘n Call”. Finally, the Fordon article includes a quiz on streets from around the country, names as relevant to day as they were back in 1949.
And now, the article on Fordon. Also, note the “Where are they” quiz.
Thanks for the articles, Dave.
Of the 2 dogs being held in that photo the white one is a wired haired fox terrier. I recognize it because I have one too.
Jeep posse and deep sea diving school? Very nice publication, good score
Hi Ewiley,
We are celebrating the 80th year of the Bountiful Jeep Posse. We are searching for any pictures, articles, and mementos to display during the celebration.
I grew up in the Jeep Posse, my dad and uncle were both members most of his life. My husband is a current member.
Thank you for finding these old magazines and articles showing the history of the Bountiful Jeep Posse
