Great Eastern U.S. Antique Advertising, Book & Paper Show

Here’s an Ephemera Show that I was not aware of… I wonder if the readers are?

A&PThe old postcards and letters remind Gisela Withers of simpler times and places. Lois Ottinger is a sucker for Victorian die cuts she transfers onto porcelain pins. And George Phipps collects anything associated with his employer for the past 39 years: the Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., better known as A&P.

They were among hundreds who stepped out of the heat and into history Saturday while browsing through collectibles at the Great Eastern U.S. Antique Advertising, Book & Paper Show at the Allentown Fairgrounds.

Easiest way to learn about the show is to take a look at an article that appears today in “The Morning Call” – an Allentown, PA newspaper. The article is entitled Old cards and collection .

While we have missed this most recent show, the good news is that there is another on upcoming before the end of the year.  The next Great Eastern paper show is scheduled for Oct. 4.

I’m Tom Murphy and thanks for helping me give Ephemera the encore it deserves.

About Tom Murphy
My name is Tom Murphy and I’m becoming more and more a full time Blogger - trying to master this new and dynamic medium called blogging. Back in the late 1990s I found the Internet and was not sure what it was.. or where it was going. I worked at the time for IBM and we had what was called then PROFS - the Professional Office System. I didn’t know it at the time but that was perhaps my beginning interest in blogging. As I learn more and more about Blogging.. and Wordpress.. and my other passion - Ephemera, I hope to be able to blog about it to my followers here on this blogsite. Stay with me for what I hope will be a fun adventure for us all.
