Thanks guys for all the help. I wish the Photo software allowed photos to be in more that one physical category, but it currently does not. Key words would be a great idea to help with searching. But I do think that a photo should be filed into it's most appropriate main category, for easy finding. So adverts in adverts. Picture of the factory in the factory. Etc.

Brian, there is a limit to the number of physical sub-categories, and rather that trying to spilt hair between where model lines start and stop, which is almost impossible to do during the prewar years with the different lines and over lapping series. So I just set the adverts up by decade. With two exceptions: I added 1899 to the 1900-1909 decade, and I broke up the 1940's decade because of the WWII, and I wanted to have a dedicated category for the WWII related adverts, as I think some of those are in a class by themselves.

Gerd had a good question, and rather that make a choice on this myself, I thought it would be better to open this for public debate.

Packard built Taxis. Should they be filed into their appropriate year, or filed under professional cars?

Thanks guys for all you continued help and support.
