This is a panoramic photo of the 16th Convention of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and helpers of America. The convention was held at the Statler Hotel in Los Angeles California on October 13-17, 1952.
The poster measures about 20 by 12 inches. It is a black and white photo. It is in excellent condition with just a few extremely small tears at the bottom, but these tears are so short that I can't even give you a measurement on them.
I obtained it at an estate sale. It was rolled tightly and in a mailing tube. From its condition, I'd say it's probably been in that tube since just after it was made. The tube has the original address label on it. It was mailed from Bona Fide Photo Service, 1749 North Highland Ave. Hollywood 28, California. It was mailed to Mr. Erle E. Carter, 2720 Marion Terrace, Martinez, Calif.
Since the convention took place over 70 years ago, I think it's safe to say that no one pictured is still living. But, someone's father or grandfather could have been in attendance.
Delivery will be via USPS First Class Mail from Nevada. Buyer to pay delivery charges of $8.65.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly, and again in November for the holiday season (so three times per year) the postal service increases shipping charges. This is what they call their "Delivering For America" plan in which they hope to become profitable. It's a 10 year plan that started in 2021, so we've got years to go with multiple price increases on shipping charges each year. I try to absorb the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year unfortunately, I have to if I want to stay in business. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the increases when possible.
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items will safely fit into a single box or envelope. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASED: Sorry, I do not ship to locations outside of the United States.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they come from homes where smoking or pets were present. Unless otherwise stated, all items are sold in the same condition as when I obtained them.
