Billy Graham Crusade in Portland (1950)

My grandmother was a big fan of Billy Graham and his ministries, and during his 1950 Crusade in Portland she went to check him out in person. For one reason or another, this small piece of ephemera was saved, and brought back from the depths of history for you and presented here! As it's only three images, I'll do without the slide show, but as always, feel free to click through for the Flickr set.

Hotel Greeters Guide and Denver Daily Doings (1958)

On a recent trip to the Kitsap Peninsula, I picked up this little pamphlet from the late 1950s. The Hotel Greeters Guide and Denver Daily Doings is basically a tourist guide to Colorado with a specific focus on Denver -- everything from sights and amusements to transportation. My favorite images, however, are the wonderful advertisements scattered throughout -- watch for the vintage Coors Beer image towards the end. Watch the slideshow below (and be sure to use the full-screen option in the lower-right corner) or click through for full-sized images.

G.I. Joe Members Only Pamphlet (1984)

This entry is right on the cusp of being vintage, but considering that "G.I. Joe" is being made into a summer blockbuster at present, and it's been almost 25 years since this pamphlet came out, I'm gonna go with it. I didn't own very many G.I. Joe figures and accessories, but this must have come with one of them. As usual, why I saved this, I may never know, but nonetheless, here it is for your viewing and using pleasure. Be sure to click through for full-sized versions.
