Adirondack Resorts Press Retro Tees

 

Adirondack Resorts Press, which was the premier Lake George brochures, guides, maps and post cards from the 1920s through the early 1970s. They were printers, yet designers as well. When publisher of the Lake George Mirror, Anthony F. Hall introduced us to a cache of images of the paper, printer and images past. We utilized original design for businesses of the time from old publication ads that were run in the Lake George Mirror (which we are happily a part of for 12 years now). When Adirondack Resorts Press and the Lake George Mirror was purchased in 1997, a vault was inherited of advertising images and designs, which forms the basis of Adirondack Resorts Press’s new line of authentic, retro merchandise. We utilized original artwork from brochures and newspapers to comprised of an 8-shirt 2011 line and Happy Jack’s owner Jeff Strief was instrumental in forming the base shirt line with his retail expertise and eye for the sale. Each shirt comes with a tag with an inspired brochure of the day (posted above). The shirts can be purchased at Happy Jack’s in Bolton Landing or online at AdirondackResortsPress.com
