Feeling the call of the open road this #TravelTuesday? This trade catalog has followed the trailer trails from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico - from Maine's rock-ribbed coasts to the sunny sands of Southern California - to bring you this guide to arranging, equipping, and decorating your home on wheels (beware of stockings hung inside to dry!).
This ca. 1946 catalog was issued by Chicago's Acorn Venetian Blinds, purveyor of window coverings found "in the world's finest, most elaborate commercial, government, and house trailer coaches". The catalog is PAM 98.077 in Hagley Library's pamphlets collection, and can be found in full in our Digital Archive by clicking here.
