    Description

    This is an original vintage photograph , taken somewhere between 1953-1954 , possibly 1955.
    in 1953 Hudson had a sales campaign with the slogan that is on the bannor in the background of the photo " To
    Sell. More People, Solicit More People"   the word Sell , can barely make out.  Many around the table have some type program booklet in their hands or on the table , but cannot make out the title.
    all along top edge lots of creasing.  also a couple 1/2" inch tears along top.   at bottom , near center , there is aprox 4" inch crease.  Also crease to bottom/left corner.   Also going across entire bottom edge , there is a long crease.   The photo images are clear and nice , but the photos edges show lots of wear.
    8x10" inch original photograph , Not a reproduction.
    I do not know who the people are , but assume this to be some type sales meeting banquet for a Hudson or Hudson-Nash automobile dealership in Williamsburg Virginia , in the early 1950s.

    from the internet I found this article:
    1953 Hudson Service Merchandiser February issue -
    "At each meeting we use banners to decorate the assembly room and to carry our message, Mr. Joe Damazio, Parts Warehouse Manager, is pointing at (a bannor) : "To Sell. More People, Solicit More People, and Mr. Ray C. Olsen, Parts and Service Manager, is pointing to: "The. More People You Ask to Buy, the More You Will Sell.".
    The Hudson Motor Car Company made Hudson and other brand automobiles in Detroit, Michigan, from 1909 to 1954. In 1954, Hudson merged with Nash-Kelvinator Corporation to form American Motors (AMC). The Hudson name was continued through the 1957 model year, after which it was discontinued
