    Original The Great Jarvis Window Card
    This is an original window card used to promote a Silver Anniversary event. The featured magic act was The Great Jarvis & Company. His full name was Forrest R. Jarvis (1906-1983). The other non-magic acts on the show could also have some collectible value.
    It states: Annual Membership Report Meeting / Election Of Directors / Exhibits! Prizes! / 1935-1960 Silver Jubilee Of Rural Electrification / Fun For All! Entertainments! Everyone Welcome / Glen Hall – Organist / The Great Jarvis – Celebrated Magician / The Larabees – Whips Of The Argentine / Miss Joni – The Girl In The Heart / The Great Jarvis & Company / GM’S “Previews Of Progress.”
    A “window card” is a poster that is used to promote a show or an event. It is made of stiff cardboard and is often placed at retail store windows. It is also used at theaters and at events in glass cases outside of the venue.
    This original 14 x 22 inch, window card was purchased at auction from the David Price Egyptian Hall Museum (EHM 3264). It is dated 1960. Pre-owned but in good condition for its age.
