Here you'll find pictures and scans of All Things UBSC that you should remember. The memorabilia has been broken into three web pages to speed up page load. The memorabilia is no particular order, and there'll be a link at the bottom to go onward to the next page.

However, for the impatient: Commentary -- everywhere -- is by Marvin Jones, unless set out in "quotes" with attribution.
Stuff from Jonesy's spider-infested basement museum: Better Air Participant coffee cups

Remember the "Better Air Campaign"?
I believe these cups were a fallout from Dick Watt's participation on the Denver Better Business Bureau.

UBSC 20th Anniversary pen

Remember Jack Lea's United Way auctions? I bought a 30 lb. box of those blank marble bases at an auction back in about 1996. Still have'm.

UBSC Business Cards

The UBSC logo was different and distinct from the corporate logo. It was a "vacuous" set of "interlocking nuts" -- versus the solid version of UBD and the rest.

My first set was in error, and Candy Udland (now Candy Slavec) -- the Systems Department secretary -- reordered the 'correct' ones for me.
UBC keyring

Keyring. ....which I still use to haul around all the "Store Loyalty Cards" I have.
UBSC button

This is a button/badge that's been hanging off a magnet on my refrigerator for years. It's 2.5 inches in diameter. I cannot remember when I got it, nor for what 'event' it was allocated.

UBSC Old Timer button

A "UBSC OLD TIMER" button that was passed out for the 20th anniversary celebration of the company.

Those of us that had been there from Day 1 -- or from very early in the 1970's -- got the added ribbon.

Of course, the 'celebration' was somewhat somber, because it wasn't really UBSC anymore.
Minibank Play Money - front
I've had this United  minibank  Play Money kicking around with some of my other UBSC memorabilia for years.

I forget if there were some other 'denominations'.

Make It Happen Badge

It seemed like 'they' deluged us with promotional material in the latter years of UBC/UBSC.
Gary Antrim: "What Goes 'Round - Comes Around" -- again,   eventually,     sooner or later.
IBM SYS/370 Model 155 doing Real Work.
In 1972, Gary stood in awe as UBSC's first IBM MainFrame was rolled up the ramp into the Computer Room. Three-plus decades later, Gary was selling the front panel from one of these on his NewBegin.com auction web site.
Gary: "Just received a 1971 IBM 370 model 155 ... and posted it at web site. It should bring wonderful memories from the most powerful machine from 32+ years ago when we had no gray hair."
IBM SYS/370 Model 155 -- framed memorabilia
This is the "Tastefully-Framed, Ready-To-Hang" IBM SYS/370 Model 155 front panel that Gary was featuring on his auction web site.
Wouldn't this look good on your living room wall?
