This ads produced between 1952 and 1963 and were run in magazines such as House beautiful, Sunset, Brides magazine, Better homes and gardens. One is titled " Americas Most famous modern chair" can now be yours for only $25.00 (DCM DCW LCM LCW)

And one that I found most interesting was published in 1963 entitled "Beware of Imitations" and shows just how long Herman Miller has been dealing with the issue of reproductions.

Found at the Eames Office

This order form entitled "Eames Chairs of Zenaloy" With the "Zenaloy," a reference to Zenith Plastics with whom the Eames Office closely collaborated with.

 

I guess it shouldn't suprise me that even the order forms have a certain level of design to them. 

I also wouldn't mind seeing those prices next to the chairs again.
