3M SCOTCH CELLULOSE TAPE 1956 Pre Print Advertisement BLEED SHEET AD 1 Of A Kind

Here is a different advertising item. This advertisement is a 'pre print' or bleed sheet if you will, before the ad was put to print in newspapers or magazines. Sort of like a final copy prior to publication. I am pretty sure this piece is a one of a kind. It is printed on gloss paper. As you can see, the ad is smaller than the sheet it is printed on. Hence bleed sheet. The page measures 11.5" in height and is 8.5" wide. The ad was from 3M Scotch Cellulose Tape, (Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing, [I just learned what 3M stands for]). The piece is offering 2 for 1 tape dispensers. This ad was slated for print in different publications and was produced, and signed at the bottom, by Cockfield, Brown and Company out of Toronto. I picked up a few of different themes, some had the year on them, and they were all dated 1955 and 1956 as is with this one. This piece would be a knock out in an office at home or business, or anywhere else for that matter.
