Howe Military School Catalogs^™

Howe Military School™ catalogs through the years were upper quality examples of the better commercial printing. Through most of the twentieth century, the annual tuition at Howe was comparable to the concurrent price of a luxury car. “Howe School™” and the School crest were embossed in early years, content printed on glossy paper, and the extensive use of color photos in later years, all were deemed necessary to convince parents that the substantial investment in a private boarding prep school education was worth it.

Here are some representative Howe catalogs through the years. In the early 20th Century some were incorporated in the June issue of the Howe Quarterly so they could be mailed under the School’s periodical permit. This permit use continued for many years even though there was only the catalog quarter for many years.
