Collector items? Or garbage.... Gotta be worth something.

[jcooper]

Got motivated to clean the office(noting else to do). Was planing on dumping these for shelf space!

However some of these beauties are from 2007, 08, 09, etc.(the porty days)... Really "premium issues", even a few old school cleanfax.

Over 40 of them, Ics got pretty thin the last few years. Some feel like ten pages thick(lol)...


The knowledge contained is just these magazines would be priceless to any business. Covers are in great shape and frameable quality.

So, collector items only to rise monumentally over time or garbage???


Truth be told more crap is just going to take it's place....

Memories. Back in the day they were priceless. We started our Company in '82. Information was almost nonexistent. Then came PCS, ICS and Cleanfax. WOW!

Today... Internet. Explosion of cleaning information.

Not simply what is the best prespray but how to please clients, marketing, hiring. And stay current.

I had a treasured stack of them going back to 1976.

I kept it neatly under my desk and then in the corner, 6+ ft tall.

Until...the girls staged an intervention.

While you might not believe it now, Cleanfax was the beginning of the "tell it like it really is" revolution in the cleaning industry. Before the advent of cleaners bulletin boards, John Downey published some editiorials that drew the ire of those in power/authority in the industry more than once, and Cleanfax articles included "Great Debates" that pitted informed and worthy opponents taking opposite sides of important matters of the day.

While print is fading (if you'll pardon the pun), Cleanfax magazine represents the beginning of cleaners (rather than suppliers/instructors) driving industry conversations.
