Joseph MarlinJoseph Marlin is a retired clinical social worker and administrator of hospital social work programs, but he's also a collector. This book is a selection from his collection of fading ad photos. For three decades or more, he has collected vintage camras, especially examples from the Chicago photographic industry, including still, movie and street cameras. He collects Art Deco items and is a member of the Chicago Art Deco Society. He is a board member of the Hyde Park (Chicago) Historical Society and on the board of a local effort to maintain affordable housing. Since he likes old things, he has lived in his 115-year-old semi-attached row house for fifty years. If you find some readable fading ads not in this book, you can let him know at joermarlin@aol.com.
