Meyer Snow Plow & ElectroLift Brochure
The Meyer Snow Plow brochure includes a large section about the ElectroLift. Labeled form no. 3-163, the brochure is a standard paper side with a half-paper-sized section that folds out horizontally to reveal more details about the Electrolift.

This second one is an undated form no. 3-283, but given it includes a Jeepster Commando, it is likely from the late 1960s.:

This center section utilizes two pages:

Form No. 3-217 is a one page brochure that highlights marker kits installed atop Meyer Snow plows to make them easier to see.
