Golden History Moment
88 Years Ago
The May 17, 1934 Colorado Transcript described an exciting new Coors marketing technique. They had a fleet of 40 new freight cars, custom-painted with the Coors logo.
These cars will deliver Coors products to all parts of the United States, especially to such distributing points as Chicago, New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Billings, Mont., Fort Worth and Galveston, Tex.
Colorado Transcript – May 17, 1934
A facsimile of one of these cars is on display at the Railroad Museum. That great marketing didn’t last long: the signs at the museum inform us that the federal government banned the practice of painting billboards on boxcars in 1937.
Thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
