Original Franchising Flier of 1952: McDonald's History
This is the original flier that was used for franchisers in 1952. When McDonald's was trying to franchise their business, they made these to create interest from the person they were selling their idea to. This would be a great part of the exhibit because it shows how the idea of McDonalds started. This can be found at McDonalds Co.

McDonald's Restaurant Blueprints
This is one of the first blueprints of the idea of the look of McDonalds. The idea of the arches can be seen, and it is the beginning of McDonalds buildings. This can also be found at McDonalds Co. 

 The original McDonald's menu was far less complex than the varied list we have today
This was the first ever McDonalds menu. It was extremely simple and only had select items as seen above. This exhibit shows the growth of the McDonalds menu and variety of food. 


This was one of the first cups in the debut of McDonald's, Ronald McDonald. It has a plastic top and a paper bottom. This cup is a sign of the growth of franchising for McDonalds. It is located in the National Museum of American History. 


This was one of the multimixers that Ray Kroc sold before he founded McDonalds. He made his lives savings selling supplies like this. The McDonald's brothers bought one of these from Kroc, and that is how they managed to meet.

Showed throughout the movie, this dispenser released ketchup and mustard in one, even sweep. It was the idea of the brothers, but was created by the Toman brothers. This was a supply used in one of the first ever McDonalds.


McDonald's Paper Bag: Lamag
This paper bag is an original bag from the first ever McDonalds. As you can see, there was not yet a Ronald McDonald. This is important because it shows the forms of bag the McDonalds supplies have undergone.

Joan Kroc Private Jet (Impromptu  IV) Collectibles
Mrs. Joan Kroc loved to fly and bought a sixteen million dollar private jet. These are collectibles from the items she would wear on the planes while traveling (5 Things You Might Not Know About the Krocs of McDonald's: Chicago Arts and Culture).
