Description

When Will Primos launched his company in 1976, the first name was Primos Yelpers, Inc. During the early to mid 1980s, the company would change names multiple times as it evolved. After PRIMOS YELPERS, INC. and PRIMOS, INC., PRIMOS & COMPANY would be the company's identity, even if only briefly. This is one of the very first catalogs. Per Will Primos, these catalogs were on stationery paper and the pages were staped together. The product offerings include items Primos developed, such as diaphragm calls, as well as products outsourced to others. During this time the logos used were referred to as the "tombstones" due to their shape, and each contained a species for which the company had extended its game call line to. It also has the early slogan "Wildlife Calls That REPRODUCE, Not Imitate." The front and end matter in the catalog, as well as the calls advertised, are significant parts of the history of the company.
