In the late 1930s or early 1940s, the Kapuskasing Chamber of Commerce sponsored the publication of a "Souvenir Folder" to promote the Model Town of the North. The folder consisted of 10 panels on a 90 cm piece of paper, accordion folded. Both sides of the strip had pictures printed on each panel, with the exception of two text panels. The strip was sandwiched between thick paper covers creating a postcard folder.
