Well, now I suppose it has ONE match, for this blog post.
I can’t show you what a Pepigram Binder is, but these are evidently pepigrams that would have been stored in said three-ring binder.
As you might have figured, these came from my Granddad Bill’s stack of salvaged things. But as to this pepigram, I have no explanation. Pep-i-gram Bin-dah (sing to the tune of “Paperback Writer”…)
Great post 😁

I’ll launch a Kickstarter to bring back the Pepi Gram! Or maybe a Peppy Gram, which is a lively grandmother. snorf.

You know that artist’s work looks familiar… is that John Held, Jr ?

These ‘pepigrams’ are making nothing but a dull thud sound when I try to research em… I’ll have to do some stack work on em.

It’s like they never existed at all.

Well, yes, and not exactly…
.. there’s references in several newspapers from 1929-1930 about them, and it seems like such pepigrams were commonly used to personalize college yearbooks in the midwest and south around that era.
I’m gonna hit the local University stacks on it when I get some time.
🙂 It’s a cool deal you found !! 🙂
