Adverts in : Publieke Werken : 1, January 1937 : A.W. Sijthoff's Uitgevers Maatschappij N.V.. : Leiden : Nederland : 1937 : design by Anton Kurvers

            A page of adverts in the January 1937 issue of the monthly Dutch journal "Publieke Werken" published by A. W. Sijthoff's Uitgevers Maatschappij NV of Leiden - the Officieel orgaan van vereeniging van directeuren van gemeentewerken openbare werken bouw-en woning-toezicht en woningdienst. This roughly translates as the "Official body of the association of directors of municipal works public works building and housing supervision and housing service."

The journal contains many articles on major public works taking place in the Netherlands at  the time such as official buildings, housing and infrastructure along with adverts for relevant companies, products and services.

The cover, and the binder for the twelve volumes, is designed by Anton Kurvers (1889 - 1940) the noted Dutch artist, industrial and graphic designer whose work had a great impact on contemporary Dutch design.

A few adverts from the journal including a Dutch mainstay; that for bike stand! Two foreign names stand out, firstly that of the giant German engineering concern of Krupps of Essen for steel sheet piling. The address for this part of the Fried. Krupp AG is the Friedrich-Alfred-Hütte at Rheinhausen. The other notable name for me is that of the famous Stanton Ironworks Co. Ltd., from near Nottingham. Stanton were a noted manufacturer of cast iron and cast iron products such as pipes as seen here. It also makes mention of the company's reinforced concrete products; at the time Stanton were one of the major British producers of concrete street lighting standards made by the centrifugal spinning method.
