(511-1) This Fishing and Camping Manual was an incentive featured in newspaper ads at some point in the 1951 model year. (I'll have to check the date if anyone wants to know.) There are a number of advertising pages for both Kaiser and Henry J, but no mention of Frazer. The manual measures 6 x 9 inches and has 64 pages plus covers. In addition to the ads shown there is a four page centerfold featuring the 1951 Kaiser with a two page spread on the Traveler. Page footers that run through the manual are: "The Kaiser--Built to Better the Best on the Road", "This Year It's Clear" "Kaiser's the Car", "The Henry J--Tough as an Ox", "Henry J--Nimble as a Kitten", "The Henry J" "Costs Less to Buy--Own--Maintain." | |

(511-2) This early folder features color photos of the 1951 Frazer Manhattan, the Kaiser Deluxe and "new low priced car"--yet to be officially named the Henry J (a nationwide contest was on to pick the name but Henry J likely was already selected). Measures 11 x 8 1/2 and opens to 22 x 8 1/2 inches.
(511-3) This handout was used for an Auto Show to direct visitors to the K-F displays (not sure of location but possible hint is the sentence "the low priced car is on the first floor in the North wing, near the Halsted Sreet entrance." Measures 5 1/2 x 6 and opens to 11 x 6 inches.
(511-4) An item similar to the one above is next. The Henry J is still the "low priced car." A rubber stamp on back identifies source as Portland Motors, K-F Distributors, Seventeenth and Morrison S.W., Broadway 5581. This may have been handed out at a show or could be showroom item. Measures 5 1/2 x 6 and opens to 11 x 6 inches.
