Product Merchandising Manual Circa 1955

• CATEGORIES: Documents, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Several months ago a reader purchased a product merchandising manual with over four hundred pages, used by the Willys Motors marketing department. Over the succeeding months, we scanned and assembled this into a PDF. I’m dating it at 1955 because it introduces the new CJ-5. It’s not entirely complete, but there’s lots in it.

I’d like to thank the generous reader for making this available to everyone! I wish everyone the best for 2019!!

Maury shared this one. It’s unclear what year this might have been printed, but for the price you could buy a few thousand current business cards.
