If you are looking for ads for billboards or whatever for your period layout, this site http://library.duke.edu/digitalcollections/adaccess/browse/ (http://library.duke.edu/digitalcollections/adaccess/browse/) has ads dating back to 1911. It covers everything from cosmetics to airlines.

I have several vintage ATSF posters that came out of some of the old depots. I picked them up right berfore they tore them down. I am glad I have them now.
