If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that in the late 1940s, studios began making paper banners that measure 24" x 84", and were printed on a heavy stock, similar to that used for 40x60s. Many people believe they were created for the huge drive-in market that was growing rapidly at this time. This poster is printed on regular one-sheet-like paper on a single huge 24" x 84" sheet! We had never seen a paper banner like this before we were consigned two of them in June of 2015, and since then we have been consigned a very few more. Given that these date from a few years before the "regular" paper banners became standard, we suspect they started out making them like this, and then when they got all torn up due to their large size, they switched to the heavier stock. Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 22 3/4" x 84 1/4" [58 x 214 cm].

Condition: good to very good. The banner was slightly trimmed.
