We normally think of Manley Inc as a manufacturer of popcorn machines, and this web site focuses on these popcorn machines. However, they provided everything that a Manley popcorn machine owner would need to be successful. This process began with their sales force determining where a Manley popcorn popper should be placed to be successful. It also included providing the supplies for operating, including popcorn bags, popcorn boxes, the popcorn, and seasoning (coconut oil). In addition, they provided promotional items to help sell popcorn. These promotional items included posters and signage. Some examples of this signage is found in their booklet entitled "How To Sell Popcorn". Follow the link below to see a scanned version of this booklet.
Specifically this page depicts many of the items that Manley Inc provided to their popcorn machine owners. The items include manuals, popcorn bags, popcorn boxes, raw popcorn containers, mechanical pencils, and posters.
