Consistent with its Mission, Vision, and Values, The Virtual Steam Car Museum is pleased to share these Stanley advertising brochures and parts lists.
While the Stanley Brothers ran the Stanley Motor Carriage Company, they bragged that they did no advertising. This is not entirely true, as the company produced brochures that were distributed presumably to existing customers and potential customers as well as at auto shows.
The literature below is divided by year. The Stanleys never put the year of publication on any brochure, but rather dated them as Twenty-Seventh Year, which makes dating these brochures somewhat difficult without more detailed research.
