During the process of cleaning house for a recent video/photo shoot at Slide headquarters, we came across a trove of old memorabilia dating all the way back to our company’s origins in the 60s and 70s. Included in these items were ads, posters, catalogs, product labels, magazine and newspaper articles.
Our marketing partner’s team archived, photographed, scanned and digitized these pieces. We thought it might be fun to share a few of these with our customers and offer you a glimpse of Slide’s history.
Product posters circa the 1960s. Note the original company name was Perc E. Harms Co. and later changed to Percy Harms Corporation. Even though Percy Harms was his actual name, he was worried that people might pronounce it as “Perky Harms”.
A classic Percy Harms catalog cover and an ad showing our mission to be industry problem-solvers, which continues to be Slide’s goal in 2022.

And finally, thorough No-Rust product testing on a fishing rod!
We hope you enjoyed a little time-traveling through Slide’s illustrious company history. For more information, visit our history page and our memorabilia blog article.
