Coleman Company advertising records
Overview
W.C. Coleman, founder of the Coleman Lamp Company, relocated his operation to Wichita, Kansas in 1901. The young Company's business boomed beginning in the early 20th century, as portable lamp became a household essential in rural areas. This collection consists of advertising designs and mock-ups for various Coleman products, as well as some product manuals, and is labeled and organized according to the original Company filing system.
