1950 Wilson F Clark Locksmith Supply Catalog - Clark Security Products

Description

Here is a time capsule for sure.
I believe that the Wilson F Clark Company was the predecessor to Clark Security Products. I'm not old enough to have this as first-hand knowledge, but I believe Richard Clark, who ran/owned Clark in the '60's and 70's and maybe before, was related to Wilson F Clark. And I may be making this up, but I think that when he sold the company to the Merrifield consortium, they changed the name of the company to Clark Security Products.
This catalog is very well used. It has 10 tabs that have not weathered the ages well. There is no date on the catalog, however one of the sections on Briggs & Stratton shows that it was printed in 1950. That's how I'm coming up with the catalog date of 1950.
Where else are you going to see all this great stuff from the 1950's?
