Vintage photos, artifacts, paper items, etc. needed for preservation.

A World of Beauty: We ask for the online community's help with a history project. We are interested in preserving the history of Max Factor & Company prior to its sale to conglomerate Norton Simon, Inc. in 1973. We are seeking quality scans of vintage advertising, make-up products, perfume, etc. Including the Max Factor Building in Hollywood, celebrity clients, retail store displays, manufacturing equipment and facilities, photos of Max Factor, Sr. and his descendents, etc. We would also appreciate any employee (family) recollections, company newsletters, etc. All items preserved will be presented to the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. Thank you very much.
