USL Batteries, the circa 1930s advertising poster ("He forgot something important! And you will too if you forget to have us check your battery. Batteries usually fail without warning. Five minutes now may save you five hours delay on the road."; "Long Life! Dependable Power!") encouraging consumers to purchase USL Batteries, and featuring art of a well-dressed man who has forgotten his pants, with the implication that forgetting to check your battery is equally foolhardy.
If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this one-sheet, and that example has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned!

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had small paper loss at some crossfolds and some tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of the folds, with pinholes and tears around the edges, with some scuffs in the man's jacket. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
