Odds and Ends
Over the years there were many ways that Burroughs advertised the company to the marketplace. News papers and periodicals carried Burroughs advertisements frequently. Burroughs labeled items were often used and trade shows and with customers as give-aways. Products usually came clearly labeled with the Burroughs name and/or logo. And a practice somewhat unique to Burroughs were books that included real life customer stories.
