WE HAVE LOOKED AT SOME COMMERCIAL ADVERTISING BLOTTERS. HERE ARE A SELECTION, AGAIN FROM THE COLLECTION OF ANDREW H., which show a style of communication that we may associate more with the early 21st century.
![How to vote blotter, Australian Labor Party, 1946, 11 x 20.5 cm. Collection of Andrew H.](https://ephemerasociety.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Politics-How-to-vote-labor-blotter-1946-Hillier-600x312.jpg)
Communication from government agencies
!['Keep Australia clean...', Plant Quarantine Division, blotter, 9 x 20 cm. Collection of Andrew H.](https://ephemerasociety.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Insects-quaratineblotter-Hillier-600x281.jpg)
What we would now call branding
!['Do you know!', Commonwealth Serum Laboratories, blotter, circa 1940s-50s, 9.5 x 17 cm.](https://ephemerasociety.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Industry-CSL-blotter-Hillier-600x337.jpg)
This blotter’s aim seems to be educational about the work of the Commonwealth Serum Laboratories; an early piece of government promotion.
