Just like the title says, "Looking for oringial ads and pictures/ info on 1928 Elgins". Trying to gather as much info as possible. Would like to see original ads and catalog pics. All help is greatly appreciated.

Also trying to figure out if they offered different size adult frames. My frame has a bigger gap between the top and bottom bars than most.

After reviewing the catalog pages, The frame is different.

Pics of the frame here(black one)

The catalog may not be a true representation of all bikes offered by Sears, there were multiple makers that provided bikes to Sears. Also the pic in the catalog is an artist interpretive drawing not a photo.
Your frame appears to be the Standard height, 3 in + or - heat tube, and 19 in center of bb to top of seat tube.

Can you confirm those measurements ?

I thought about that.
Not to sound ignorant, but "BB"? I got 17 1/2 at the base of the seat tube to the top.

The catalog pics look Davis built.

The catalog pics look Davis built.

Davis went out of business in 1923.
