Original, vintage, illustrated pamphlet with great graphics of big Leeland balloon tires. Dated March 15, 1932.

The main building of the Lee Tire and Rubber Company was built in 1909 in Conshohocken and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. J. Ellwood Lee opened his first factory in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, in 1887 selling medical supplies. In 1905 Lee believed automobiles would become popular and merged his medical supply company with Johnson & Johnson, leading to the creation of the Lee Tire and Rubber Company, which opened in 1914.

Near mint condition measuring approx. 6.25" by 7.25" closed, 12.5" opened. Would be very nice framed or as a gift to the vintage ephemera collector. Faint mild creases at very left bottom of tire.
