There’s a neat drawing of a dealership on the back of this program. The Schotts owned a Willys Dealership (more than 1?). This is the same Schotts that would eventually own the Cincinnati Reds.

Willys Overland Dealer Banner on eBay
June 14, 2012 • CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
It looks like this was taped together and then the tape was removed.
” You are bidding on an original dealer showroom window banner/poster for Willys-Overland motor vehicles. It measures 14″ x 37-3/4″ and is a used, original. It comes in 2 pieces. Item is most likely from the early 1950’s. This would be a great addition to your Willys-Overland literature collection. Frame it or post it on the wall as is. I believe the edges originally had glue on them like an envelope. One can see where these were stuck onto a window and then removed. The one on the right has a 5″ seam tear.”
