Rare “CUSTOMERS AREN’T CRAZY” U.S. Industry Motivational POSTER (1958) Kelly Freas

Description

Offered here is “CUSTOMERS AREN’T CRAZY. THEY WON’T PAY FOR WASTE!”, an ORIGINAL U.S. Industry Motivational POSTER from 1958. This comes from the estate of a major collector and store owner on the West coast. Published by the SHELDON-CLAIRE COMPANY of CHICAGO, these posters are real RARE gems! Although not signed, I am convinced this is the work of talented Mad Magazine cover artist KELLY FREAS.

Measuring a large 54″ x 28″, this poster is in great shape for it’s age, but has some general edge wear and ragged edges with some minor tears. The main body of the poster is in EXCELLENT condition and it will look amazing in a frame!
