When Dwayner was here he had a shotgun envelope (those messenger envelopes with the holes in them so you can see there's something in them) with some Chambers stuff and one of the items was a Wear-Ever ad for Chambers. I've seen it before but nothing even close to the condition his was so I scanned it and thought it was worth posting:

Dang, could have used that for my paper last semester in creative non fiction. It was about the Wear Ever and Chambers.

Dwayner, All this new literature is great. I'll have to download them to my files, so I can pour over them closely. I noticed that they use the thistle graphic right on the front of this Wear-Ever AD above the Chambers name. The last place I saw it used was in the Model B cookbook. But there it was a tiny version that you'd hardly notice.
I tend to collect the literature from before these mainly because those stoves are less known. It looks like you're building a good collection of the later stuff.
A note for those who don't know this, but during WWII, Wear-Ever continued to sell their cookware, with the stipulation that it wouldn't be delivered until after the war ended. During the war, all their production war for the military use only.

Interesting about that "thistle graphic" graphic Pooka. I never noticed it so now I'll have to check my pots to see if it's there.

The graphic isn't on the pots. It was used in the model B cookbook, & most likely in literature at the time. It was apparently part of the sales campaign that played off of John Chambers Scottish heritage. The cookbook has a Scottish Tartan on the cover, a Scotch terrier dog & on the back cover, a woman wearing a Scottish Glengarry style hat.

And that's a B in the ad, so is definitely period correct.

Pooka - I posted them from my Photobucket account so please feel free to go there and download them (I'm pretty sure you know how to do that). If you'd prefer I can email the files too. There are also scans of a Macy's Texas Stove Works ad that I plan to post but since they're still in business I sent them a note and asked permission to post it. It has some good Chambers info in it too.

Thanks mach12. I have some pics of their literature, but I'm not sure if it's the same as what you've got. I'll have to look.
