rare all original richly colored tri-fold lithograph promotional card made for w.c. reebie and brother. supplemental information on verso. the cards were handed out around the time the warehouse opened.

sadly, the spray-glazed egyptian revival style terra cotta cornice was removed in the 1970s, but thankfully several people were around to salvage it.

the bldg. 51 museum has several sections that were modeled by fritz albert for the northwestern terra cotta company.

the reebie storage warehouse was completed in 1922 with george kingsley as architect.
