MPHS Calendars

We talk about Value in the products we buy and this item from the MPHS, the Yearly Calendar, is the best value the MPHS has to offer. What you get is 12 or more sharp, well focused and composed, Black and White and/or Color photos in an 11" x 8.5" format with captions and photographer credits for these prices. This is less than a single photo of unknown origin with no caption will cost you on ebay or at a photo dealer. Plus they are timeless in that you can remove them from the calendar and frame them, put them in a photo album or scrapbook and enjoy as individual photos.

If you are looking for Value AND really nice Photos from the Missouri Pacific Railroad, this is the ticket. Help yourself to these wonderful images at a cost that can't be beat.
