Scope and content
Display panel containing clippings of advertisements for the Carlton Tower Hotel, Hilton Hotels, Sheraton Hotels, the Greenbrier (West Virginia), and the Sands Hotel (Las Vegas). The clippings are taken from Time Magazine and the Economist. This is one of a set of five panels (OF/26/24/2-6) used as teaching aids for a course entitled 'A Plan for Advertising for the Hotelkeeper,' delivered at the Scottish Hotel School in February 1962 (a newspaper clipping containing a photograph taken at the course also appears in item OF/26/21/1). The letter 'D' appears on the bottom right corner of the panel.
