Milo Bar-bell Company Strong Men Advertising Cards Collection

Location

Rare Books & Special Collections, Hesburgh Libraries

Twenty-five advertising promotional cards, measuring 5 by 7 inches, published by the Milo Bar-bell Company. The cards feature weightlifters and strongmen in various poses, showing their muscles or exercising with various barbells and dumbbells. Many of the cards feature men posing while wearing little clothing. The original mailing envelope advertises the Milo Bar-bell Company, but none of the individual promotional cards reference the Milo Bar-bell Company.
