Description
Black and white 10″ x 14″ ad for Lockheed Aviation. The ad has a picture of this famous newsman sitting at a small table reading in front of a huge map of the world. The headline introduces him as “Mr. Lowell Thomas: One of the World’s great clock watchers” and the text talks about having written 48 books while flying 40,000 miles each year. The text claims that his choice of planes to fly on is the Lockheed Super Constellation as many other worldly travelers do. It mentions some of the features that passengers will enjoy and talks about his new film, Search for Shangri-La. This ad also announces the coming Lockheed Luxury Liner, the Model 1649. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
