ROLOC Slides

While most of the commercial slides from the Fair were licensed from Photo Lab, this set of slides was produced by an independent company. ROLOC (color spelled backwards) was a mail order operation run by Mervin W. Arps, a retired Navy officer, and he offered slides from a variety of settings. His slides from the Fair are the best ones of the commercial offerings, featuring sharp views and better-than-average color.<br>

Apparently ROLOC is no longer in the business of selling slide copies, and the family sold off the original slides in a series of auctions years ago.

The following list of slides details all of the ROLOC slides found thus far. You might also be interested in this download of the complete ROLOC catalog of their slides from the Fair, which contains more details on each slide.

The slides in bold are ones I need for my collection. If anyone has ROLOC slides they wish to sell or trade, or has more information for this list, please contact me.
