Titled "Service Bendix products," this color poster asks motorists and garage mechanics to rely on Bendix parts for maintenance. Bendix, founded by Vincent Bendix, made starters, brakes, and carburetor components that served many automobile makers in the decades after the Depression. The catalog record dates the poster only to the 1940s and credits "Pladbough," a name worth checking against other sources. Posters like this one show how manufacturers courted the independent repair shop as well as the car buyer.
