Nicholson File Ads (Part 1)

Another day, another posting of swell Al Wiseman art.

(And you thought there was no reason to get out of bed in the mornings!)


As we've seen previously, good ol' Al was involved in a variety of swanky projects before settling down to draw that Dennis the Menace kid. And yes, the Nicholson File Company was yet another example of Al's nifty client base.

But Al was just one of the many talented cartoonists whose work appeared in the this long-running series. And although the artists changed, the format was always the same- a tall, vertical layout containing a three-panel comic showing the problem-solving possibilities of owning a handy Nicholson file.

This advertisement (featuring a cartoon monkey- and who doesn't love a cartoon monkey?) was printed in the June 7, 1952 issue of The Saturday Evening Post.
