The best of both brands: in 1924, Benz & Cie. and Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft merged to pool their interests. Julius Ussy Engelhard designed this poster for the merger in 1924. It was also replicated as an advertisement in 1925.
Red star and Silver Arrows: this poster proclaimed the double victory for the Mercedes-Benz race cars at the 7th Masaryk Grand Prix in Brünn in 1937.
Not just cars: the design of this advertising poster for "DMG Büromaschinenfabrik GmbH" from 1923 shows the DMG signet and the Mercedes star as trademarks next to each other.
This blog will expand on themes and topics first mentioned in my book, "The Automobile and American Life." I hope to comment on recent developments in the automobile industry, reviews of my readings on the history of the automobile, drafts of my new work, contributions from friends, descriptions of the museums and car shows I attend and anything else relevant.

A writer should always try to keep its writing very simple and clear. Always use facts which are easily acceptable by general people because they are very close to their assumptions and they welcome such kind of facts.pre buy inspection
