Ran away from the home of David L. Clark; eventually became a sign painter. 1894 Founded an outdoor advertising firm, the R.C. Maxwell Company of Trenton, N.J., at age 21. 1917-1918 During World War I, he served as chief of the Outdoor Advertising Section of the Public Information Division, U.S. Food Administration 1919 The company began creating electric advertising signs. 1923 R.C. Maxwell Company merged with the Trenton Poster Advertising Company and moved to the building at 725 E. State Street in Trenton, N.J. 1920s R.C.

Maxwell Company sold to Interstate Outdoor.

R.C. Maxwell Company of Trenton, N.J., was one of the earliest enduring outdoor advertising companies. Founded in 1894 by Robert Chester Maxwell (1873-1954), the business followed burgeoning industry trends, beginning with a variety of outdoor advertising signage along New Jersey and New York roadways as well as at tourist destinations like Atlantic City, N.J., and New York's Times Square. With the commercial development of the incandescent bulb after World War I, the company began creating electric advertising signs in 1919. Maxwell saw great potential in these spectacular signs and established the Electric Sign Manufacturing Plant in Atlantic City, N.J. in the 1920s. This subsidiary created such giant ads as a 50-foot Colgate thermometer that was placed atop a building on the Atlantic City Boardwalk in 1922. The billboards and spectaculars themselves served as a form of advertising for the company, which displayed slogans such as Maxwell Did It and Maxwell Hits alongside its client's signs. R.C. Maxwell owned numerous billboards in Atlantic City, N.J., and a large number of pictures in this collection are located on the Atlantic City boardwalk.

Collection Overview

The R.C. Maxwell Company Records span the years 1891-2001 and include photographs and negatives, videocassettes, ledgers and account books, scrapbooks, correspondence and legal papers relating to the company's operations in outdoor advertising. Photographs and negatives in several formats (film, glass negatives, polaroid prints) document billboard designs for a variety of advertisers as well as depicting billboard and electric sign structures and their location relative to the surrounding environment. Urban locations include Times Square in New York and the Atlantic City, N.J., Boardwalk, where a number of photographs also document the Miss America beauty pageant parade and other parades in which the R.C. Maxwell Company participated. A few photographs document billboard construction and erection; there are also photographs of the Maxwell family and of Maxwell company staff and employees. Scrapbooks contain images of billboards and wall paintings produced by the Maxwell company as well as by David L. Clark, a High Point, N.C. artist and sign painter who was R.C. Maxwell's guardian. Other scrapbooks document primarily Coca-Cola signs of the early 20th century, as well as World War I support efforts including the U.S. Food Administration (under the direction of Herbert Hoover), the U.S. Fuel Administration, and Liberty Bond campaigns. Companies represented in the collection include the Boardwalk Advertising Signs Co., C&B Electric Signs Co., Trenton Advertising Co., and Trenton Poster Advertising Co.

Approximately 15,000 photographs, dating up to around 1952, have been described in the searchable ROAD Database (Resource of Outdoor Advertising Descriptions). The numbered and indexed black-and-white photographs and negatives (along with a limited number of glass negatives) include images of billboard and electric spectacular executions (illuminated billboards); road shots showing the approach views to billboard structures; images of Maxwell advertising structures; and images of urban and rural billboard displays in various states, primarily Pennsylvania and New Jersey, including a number of images of Times Square in New York and the Atlantic City, N.J. boardwalk. Because the majority of photographs show the billboards in their surroundings, the images provide a snapshot of the people and buildings near the billboard.

 Photographs Included in the ROAD (Resource of Outdoor Advertising Descriptions) Database, 1916-1952 and undated (79 boxes)

Boxes DB1-DB3 contain prints made from glass negatives. Many are undated, but are grouped together at the beginning of the series because of their format.

The contents of Boxes DB4-DB6 are arranged according to the numbering systems used by the Maxwell Company between 1916-1920. Maxwell used several different methods for cataloging their photograph collection until around 1918, when the company settled on a single, sequential numbering system. The photographs numbered in this fashion begin in Box DB7. There is thus a chronological overlap among the material in Boxes DB5-DB9. All Maxwell Company numbers are listed immediately under the date of the photographs contained in the box.

In addition to the Maxwell Company number, items in the Photographs Included in the ROAD Database Series have been assigned ROAD database numbers. A database number beginning with an XXG prefix denotes images made from glass negatives; XXH denotes images primarily from the 1940s (World War II era) but also include a few items in the 1930s; and all other Maxwell images in the ROAD database begin with an XXX prefix. All ROAD database numbers are listed after the Maxwell numbers under each box number. The XXH numbers are out of database order, but are in chronological order. This reflects the fact that this set of photographs was processed separately under a slightly different organizational plan.

Where applicable, individual folders have been stamped indicating that a corresponding negative is available in the Negatives Series (Restricted) of this collection.

Negatives from both the Photographs Included in the ROAD Database Series, and the Photographs NOT Included in the ROAD Database Series are found here. The series is divided into Glass Plate Negatives and Film Negatives, and follow a chronological order where possible. In general, boxes NN1-NN43 contain negatives from those photographs included in ROAD, and boxes NN43-NN87 contain negatives from those photographs NOT included in the ROAD database. However, a few negatives in boxes NN-NN43 are missing corresponding photographs for documentation in the ROAD database.

Restriction on Access: Negatives are restricted for preservation reasons. Patrons should view prints. Requests to view negatives under special circumstances may be submitted to the Head of Research Services and will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
