In 1935, a humorous "sales catalog" showing photographs of outhouses (from Plentywood, Montana to Skowhegan, Maine) was published by William Royal Greer and C. C. Calder as
a parody of a real catalog of outhouses by Brown & Bigelow that was marketed to lumber companies. In anticipation of a reprint edition in 1992, Ten Speed Press issued this poster. Curiously I could not find any reference or available copies of a 1992 edition by Celestial Arts or Ten Speed Press so I do not know if the book actually went into production. Regardless, the poster would make a great conversation piece and draw some laughs when framed and properly displayed.
