Nairn Publicity Envelopes - Type 1 |

Nairn Transport Company (18 October 1923 – 19 September 1926)
The Nairn Transport Company was
officially opened on 18 October 1923 and operated under this name until
19 September 1926. From this period four different types of advertising
envelopes are known, some of them in different sizes. The relatively
high number of different advertising envelopes reflects the newly opened
company’s initial efforts to make the company known to the public.
This advertising envelope is, along with
Type 8, the only type not bearing the normal Nairn logo (palm trees,
camels and vehicle). The poor resolution image in this logo appears to
be palm trees and a Bedouin on a camel (or in Arabic cloth?). The four
cities of Haifa, Beyrout, Damascus and Baghdad are mentioned, indicating
that Nairn offices were located in these cities.
