Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad for their variety of Electric Wall Clocks. The ad headline lets us know that “Big Ben’s family name is Westclox“ and wants us to “Let his relatives give you a hand around the house”. Shown in the ad are six different models and their prices although the ad tells us that Westclox offers over 270 different models from $2.98 to $29.95. This ad shows the “Early-Bird” which is really the Countryside which sold for $7.98, the “Fancy-That” clock which was really the Spice which sold for $6.98, the “Plain-Jane” which was really the Accent which sold for $6.98, the “Wall-Flower” which was really the Capella which sold for $5.98, the “Night-Owl” which was really the Starette Dialite which sold for $6.98 and the Melody which sold for $4.98. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
