Beatles Beach Towel | Beatles Memorabilia

NEMS licensed the decorative towel, and "NEMS Enterprise LTD" was imprinted in the lower left-hand corner. Windsor Textile Co. Inc. made the actual Beatles' Beach Towel out of Chicago, then supplied to Towel Decorators for the Cannon Mills Company (founded in 1888 – located at 101 West First – Lake Drive, Kannapolis, North Carolina); labels printed for Cannon Mills Towel Decorators stated, 'Made Expressly for Towel Decorators.'

The 35" x 66" towel was adorned with "The Beatles" printed across the top area, along with facsimile first-name signatures accompanying each musician.

The white towel featured sketches of The Beatles sporting colorful, striped vintage men's Victorian bathing suits and groovy "Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" splashed across the lower section.

The sketches were made from photographs captured by band photographer Dezo Hoffmann on July 27, 1963. 

One advertisement for the towel stated, "Jumbo 'Beatles' Beach Towel. 35" x66" cotton terry. Color-printed Beatles pictures and autographs. $2.66."
