Four H. C. Evans & Co. Catalogues. Chicago, IL., 1929-1952. These four catalogues show the wide range of H.C. Evans & Co.’s inventory. The 1929 catalogue is company’s best, with 160 pages of carnival & gambling items, released just before the Great Depression. The 1934 Secret Blue Book has 72 pages of gaffed and cheating items. The 1940 Club, Park and Carnival Equipment catalogue contains 83 pages of exactly what the title suggests. The 1952 catalogue shows their line of “Automatic Mechanical Shooting Galleries.” Very good.
